I understand there is now software which can be downloaded and used to ID apples from descriptions. For a couple reasons, I can't use it, so I have to pick the brains of NAFEXlisters instead.

Nov 14 I collect apples from an old tree (not ancient) which had half its apples on the tree & half on the ground. (This is rather late, for this area.) Similar to Gold.Del. in appearance & flavor & texture. A bit more crisp, & flavor had more character & some tartness-- especially in the slightly greener apples picked from the tree. Skins are more glossy than Gold.Del., and any red on them is in small spots, rather than the occasional blush cheek.

I didn't take the time to study leaves for disease signs, nor to find the tree's current care-taker to learn the recent care regimen nor history. This is the time-consuming part, and I figure if it is a common known variety I'll just skip it.

Thanks for any ideas.
