Hi John.

I've moved you across to the Grow Your Own forum. You can join the grown ups now you have your allotment !  

I'd say the apple tree is of the fruiting type but beyond that can't help. :?
If you can take a close up of one of the ripe apples you might stand a better chance.

Enjoy all the hard work.

Re the apple type, I have no expertise so can't help - but if you really want to know, there are likely to be lots of apple fayres etc any time now where you might be able to take one along to be identified.  These normally happen in the second half of October.

I don't know whether RHS Garden Harlow Carr are doing anything along those lines this year, but you might find something happening more locally if you do a search on t'interweb.

Enjoy your lotty - do a bit at a time and remember to take photos of progress, so you can look back in a few months time with a real sense of satisfaction

Well done John,
Its a fair old size site that is.

Get going now do a bit every week through the winter and you WILL have a great plot ready for spring planting.

I did the same 18 months ago and now my plot is great. A little every week and you will soon notice the benefits,  Guaranteed[/u].

I've consulted the tome that is 'The Fruit Expert' and it looks a bit like 'Tydemans Late Orange' or 'Sunset' but could be another Cox's Orange Pippin cross.

Or it could be a variety not in my book of course  

Either way, i hope it tastes nice.

Looks suspiciously like a Cox's Orange Pippin to me too...
