On my round-the-block walk is a tree with apples still on it.
It's on public land and so I've eaten plenty of them - delicious!
What variety might it be?
I've never heard of an apple so late.

At our old house we had a huge Bramley Tree and that kept its apples for a
long time. The later it was in the year, the sweeter they became.

Some are very late and are 'keepers', though usually picked for keeping! If
it's edible, it's unlikely to be a cooking apple like a Bramley, because
they're pretty tart when you try them.
If you can, take a photo of one on the tree, take a photo of the whole tree
and pick one, wrap it in tissue or newspaper and keep it in a cool dry
place, like a frost-free garage and if there's an Apple Day anywhere near
you, take it along for identification from an expert.

Aren't Apple Days in October?

What was I thinking of?! You're right, I'm sure. However, I suppose it's
possible that a local fruit-grower would be able to help, perhaps. Or even
sending it to Thornhayes Nursery in Devon could work.
