Small Backyard Orchard of 30 trees #624517

Asked April 16, 2020, 8:18 AM EDT

Hello, My husband and I moved into a house with a small orchard almost 3 years ago, we've don't a lot of work trimming our neglected trees and getting them ready to fruit each year. I'm having a hard time figuring out what apple varieties I have, is there a place to send apples to get tested? I'm an apple novice so its hard for me to judge them by appearance and taste.

There is no test that determines the variety. Hopefully, you can make a determination when the fruit matures. The best information I can give you is at this link:
