Looking at the bottom, there is what looks like a graft so you may have a 'family' tree with 2 varieties grafted onto one rootstock. Looks like only one of them has fruited this year though. Did both main branches flower in spring?
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Yes, blossom everywhere. 1 apple hiding behind leaves on the empty looking side of tree, looks same as others. Was one stem grafted on rootstock. No upper graft.
Thanks guys. Pansy I was looking at pearmain varieties. Two that look similar are white pearmain and especially claygate pearmain. There isn't much red in these apples, unlike my jonagolds that are 95% red.

If you really can't remember, take a ripe example to an Apple Day in October. They are held all over the country, and there will be an expert there.
Yeah I thought I'd have to wait, just so impatient sometimes!

Central stem was removed in 1st year to create goblet shape.
That explains it c3k. It is looking very healthy!
