Claude (and Lisa to a lesser extent, because I can't send you grafting wood 
across the 
border),  I have had trees which were labelled Foxwhelp for a number of 
years, 
(unfortunately, so long ago that I have lost the original origin).  I never 
thought to look more 
closely at my apples, and now there are none to look at, because they are all 
in my cyder.  
My "Foxwhelps" ripen in mid-September, (not October), but are small, and as I 
remember 
bright red, and certainly resemble the picture of Foxwhelp in Joan Morgan's 
book (The Book 
of Apples).  I may actually have genuine Foxwhelp, (but would want to verify 
this more 
specifically next season before swearing to it).  I would be happy to send 
you scions if you in 
fact do not have the real thing. (I also have a number of other cyder 
varieties if you are into 
making cyder, including a couple of French ones (Frequin Tardif, Pomme Gris, 
Marechal, 
Mantet)
