very small apples on a supposedly large apple tree?

Hi all,

I'm hoping the the apple growers can help out here...

2 years ago I bought an eating apple on a dwarf rootstock to put in the allotment.

I had no fruit at all last year, but that was ok as it was it's first year anyway but this year I have a fair amount.  The trouble is, all of the books and tinterweb articles I see about it say that it should be a large red apple, yet the fruit it has produced is smaller than golf balls.

I made a point in May/June of getting rid of the small swellings of apples that didn't fall in the June Drop and was left with a modest amount of crab apple sized baby apples.

I haven't done anything with this tree yet, as it's too small to warrant pruning.

The variety is supposed to be Jonagold.

My question is this;  as the fruits are only as big as large crab apples / apricots, if I remove more of them will I get fewer but larger fruit this late in the season?

Piccy to come later tonight.

Phew!  pleased to hear it!

the reason I was concerned is that I have 2 other apple trees and the apples are almost, well, apple sized on them!
