Wild Apples?

[Robinthebobin]

Another thought re wild fruit....on my dog walks recently I've come across what look like apples in the wild. They don't ressemble crab apples as they seem to be bigger and generally green with no yellowing or redness so I was wondering are they simply wild apples?

As I gave away all our cookers to the cider man I was wondering if I can use these for cooker apple related recipes?

Thx

If there are lots of apple trees, maybe an old orchard? They're fantastic places. I was in one last year in the Chilterns - lots of birdlife, and even deer. Of course, I had to sample the apples, so many different varieties.

As for cooking with them....try it and see!

They could be seedlings from thrown-away apple cores! They don't always come true to the parent.

Did the branches have spines? this would be wild Malus If not it will be Malus pumilla.
