Need help id this apple
Hello all. I found an old apple tree on the side of a boulevard yesterday. Seems like someone planted it along with some crabapple trees. I picked one apple of the ground and it was the best apple I ever ate...I would love to buy a tree of the same variety (on Bud 9). If I can't figure out what it is, I'll try grafting on my own trees.
Anyway, here is the description:
Size: mid-large (about the size of a big yellow delicious)
Form: A bit ribbed (not much)
Color or the skin: mostly yellow, little red (dark pink) blush, slight russeting (some lines)
Texture of skin: Bumpy lenticels, rough (not appealing!!), no sign of scab
Color of flesh: light cream
Texture: Firm, crunchy, not too dry, but definetly not juicy
Taste: Sweet, a bit acidic and fruityyyyy! (How to describe... tastes like a yellow delicious, kind of babana"ish"/ Juicy Fruit"ish", with better acid balance)
Tree: Healthy looking (good disease resistance?)
Zone: 4b
I thought it might be Tolman sweet, but descriptions I read mentionned "little acidity" (the one I tasted had more than just "little") and all the pictures I've seen show smaller and better looking versions of what I found. Still... might be Tolman sweet on a good year... What are your thoughts?
