I just moved into a house with a couple of apple trees in the yard. The
apples are light greenn, approximately golf ball size, and incredibly sour.
Too sour to eat off of the tree.

Location is Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Any idea what kind of apples these are?

Very hard to determine based on your limited revelations. The size of the apple
may be a clue to the possibility that this is a crab apple tree. The only apple
I know
of that is so small is a Pitmastin Pinneaple, but that one is sweet and
russetted.

Dirr: Manual of Woody Landscape Plants: "If fruit is 2 inches in diameter or
less, it is a crabapple. If the fruit is larger than 2 inches, then it is
classified as an apple." A golf-ball sized fruit would be a crabapple.

Sounds like a Dolgo crabapple. mine are still greenbut come fall they turn
red. Wait for first frost and then harvest, makes for a very nice apple
jelly.

Hopefully the poison type. Try one.

Hm... I looked up a few pics, but the dolgo is definitely red, and there's
no hint that mine are anything but green.

Thank you for the suggestion, though.

I think the bottom line is that the trees are seedlings that just came
up on their own. Are the trees growing in a location where they were
obviously planted by a human or are they in an odd location along an
edge where they might have come from a tossed apple core or seeds
dropped by an animal?
If they appear to be planted, maybe someone tried growing their own
apples from seed or maybe they were store bought trees that had the tops
damaged and the root stock sprouted up from below.
If you are wanting a variety name, I'm sure there is none. Nobody would
name and sell an apple variety with the qualities you described.

Why don't you take an apple & a small branch with leaves off the tree down
to Golden Acre and ask them if they know what kind of tree it is?

Israel is a democracy where everyone can voice his or her opinion. I think
you will find that most people in Israel don't agree with Mr. Ben-Yair. You
will find the same diversity of opinions in the USA. There were many
influencial
people that said we should not have fought Hitler. What do these remarks
prove?
