ID - Apple tree
I know this is probably quite difficult given the limited information but has anyone any idea what kind of Apple tree this might be? I've attached a few pictures. The leaf and apple were taken during last summer, the flower pic was taken today. Let me know if other info might help..thanks.

Lots more information needed - this website might help you http://www.gardenappleid.co.uk/index.php/how-to-use-this-website
Also you'll need to wait a bit until the blossom is out fully so you can see the colour etc.
Another avenue for you - the keepers of the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale have a Fruit ID service - details here http://www.brogdalecollections.co.uk/fruit-identification.html
or you can keep your eyes peeled
for one of the several Apple Identification Days held at County and Horticultural Shows and Events throughout the autumn - good luck

ID’ing an apple from a photo is almost impossible I'm afraid. Two apples even from the same tree can look really different not to mention an apple in one garden or aspect compared to another. My Dad has a Worcester Pearmain graft from me, his apples are green even when ripe while mine are a deep red with brown top, a typical WP, and the one's on Dad's tree don't really taste anything like mine. Add to that the timing of picking and conditions of storage. My apples change constantly in flavour and texture. It can be done but from a photo it's a very big ask. Orange pippin website has good information also. Rosie Sanders has written a very good book, or two on apples.
You may find it in the library. It might. Help. Having said all that. It looks like a Kids Orange Red, possibly, I don’t have that apple but that’s my gut instinct for what it’s worth.
