Hello everyone. I am looking for suggestions on the possible identity of an apple cultivar growing on an old farmstead (built in 1910) in Alberta, Canada. The tree was probably planted about the time the house was built. The fruit diameter is 3 inches on average and the height is 2 inches. The skin is golden yellow with a reddish streaked overcolour. I cannot provide information on flesh colour as the samples I received were in poor condition. It is a very sweet apple but a poor keeper. Fruit on the part of the tree more exposed to sun ripen in mid August while those more in the shade do not ripen until mid September. Any ideas?
