Filled 3 stack & stores with windfalls in a Nat. Trust car park whilst on holiday.

They are bland, not sweet, nor are they cookers (so not Genadier). So why did I bother picking them up? - to press and blend with sugar/crab apple juice (pressed last year) to give the right kick & bite for fermenting:

Could they be Bramleys?

[David.]

No, they're definitely not cookers (had a few Bramleys at same location), as they're so bland (even blander than the worst eating(?) apple I have ever tasted) and have a total absence of sharpness.

[WG.]

They just look so much like Bramleys.  Is it possible that they might be an accidental hybrid involving a Bramley?  I don't know enough about apples to know whether hybrids can happen naturally.

[David.]

Definitely not Bramleys.

They also are so soft/mushy that you could probably push a finger in to first knuckle joint.

[splodger]

might be "emneth early"

[DD.]

Are they by any chance 'Grenadier'?

[Bernard]

Unless the precise location suggests otherwise it is probably from an accidental seed.

[David.]

Are they by any chance 'Grenadier'?

Although I initially dismissed Grenadier (despite looking so similar), because Grenadier is a cooker, and I thought all cookers were hard and sharp, and these taste so bland and are really soft, but have since read Grenadier "cook down to a white fluff"

What do Grenadier taste like when eaten raw?
