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.
