    Don't worry I have a Jonagold also have a discovery aple tree grown from a pip and three more apple trees two of them are brambleys and another eating apple which I don't know the name,I had plenty on them last year the only troble I had was the flaming grubs I will have to get some traps.
    If your Discovery apple was grown from a pip from a Discovery apple the resulting tree will not be a Discovery.
    Every singe pip from any apple will produce a unique tree and whilst it will have inherited some characteristics from the parent it will not be the same.
    The resulting apple may be delicious, but equally may taste awful.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I think you have misunderstood my comment The only tree grown from a pip,which I didn't  sow it was growing near my garage which we left to see what it would become and it is a lovely  eating and cooking apple The rest of the trees I bought over a period time and are on a dwraf rooting stock.
