12 years ago my 3 year old granddaughter and I planted an apple pip.
Having spent several years in a pot, it is now in their garden and
fruited for the first time last year, with even more fruit this year.
My family say that these are the nicest apples they have ever tasted!
I've not had a taste yet.
Can anyone advise me how one goes about having a new apple assessed?

Congratulations but why do you think it is a "new" apple rather than the
same as the apple from which you planted the pip?

It's almost certain to be a new variety, though it may well resemble
several others.

Just try googling on - well, for a start, Gregor Mendel.

Then, if you're still interested, in 'genetics'.

Be prepared to be incommunicado¹³² for rather a long time.
