Afternoon all, our local grocer/mini garden centre has some dwarf apple tree's at £11.99, only thing is, it does'nt say what variety it is, just says 'malus domestica'. Is there a variety that is widely used like this, i realise it's a long shot, but hey ho!!

If you stick it into google plenty comes up but i cant paste on the ipad for some reason.

Ta BQ, i googled it last night and clicked on the kew link, just shows that it is an apple tree, malus domestica is just the latin for apple tree

we have an apple tree in our garden, it was a small recently planted  treelet when we moved in (now about 20 ft high) it grows nice big cooker / eaters, but they dont store well, even brogdale have so far been unable to determine the variety (after 3 failed attempts).

It's probably a home grown seedling, Grendel.

Blimey grendel, 20 foot!!  these are being sold as on a dwarf rootstock and if i got one, it's going on the patio in a large pot, don't think i want a 20 footer though

it was a while back now (maybe 15 years) but I seem to recall a shop label on it, but no variety - we still have a freezer full of apple in vacuum packs waiting to be used, it does excellent apple sauce with no sweetener, straight from the freezer, a few minutes microwaving (ok maybe 5) and its ready.

i wouldnt risk it, personally i would do my homework and get a variety of my choice  and suitable rootstock from a proper nursery.
