What kind of Apples?

Question

My daughter and my husband went apple tree shopping a few years ago.. She wanted an apple tree. We don't know what kind of apple tree it is..The tag somehow got lost and the store closed.. Can someone help? We live in MN and its a later apple. It's sweet, not too juicy, kind of tart, kind of crisp. Hope somebody could help.

Douglas Hunt · Answer

Looks like that tree is producing beautifully. The University of Minnesota has a list of varieties by apple varieties by season. Have your daughter take a look and see if one of the names sounds familiar. http://apples.umn.edu/OtherVarieties/index.htm#Late

Looks like an heirloom called Winter Banana. Not a good keeper, but white flesh, tartly sweet, good eating/applesauce.

Marion Nesbitt · Answer

At first look, thought McIntosh. Crisp white flesh and fairly sweet.

Looks like you'll never know....Bwhahaha What difference does it make as long as you enjoy them ..:)

Ursula Murphy · Answer

Yes I have just as many answers as types of red apples..LOL

Jean DeSavage · Answer

Take one of the apples to an apple farm and ask/compare it to what they have for sale.  Or, you could contact your state extension office, they should be able to tell you.

Mandy · Answer

These are Cortland apples!!

Tyia Padilla · Answer

Haralson-Medium size, tart, crisp, juicy red. Excellent for cooking. Under refrigeration, keeps until spring or later. Harvest time - Late September to Late October

Ursula Murphy · Answer

Thank you for the suggestions but this doesn't answer my question because its not the right apple. variety

Marion Nesbitt · Answer

Think everyone has tried to identify the type of apple it is for you. Perhaps take a sample in to the Agri Dept.

Carol Oswald · Answer

I agree to send a picture or take a couple apples to your county extension agent. They will help you figure it out or know who to send you to. I don't think they are Cortland, but no professional here. :)

Mike godman · Answer

with the description of the taste and the picture, I'd have to say Rome Beauty...... but I would have to taste one to know for sure.
