New variety of apple discovered

A chance find of an apple on a woodland run has led one nature lover to discover a new variety that he hopes to propagate and name.

Archie Thomas, who lives in the Nadder valley in Wiltshire, stumbled across a solitary windfall apple on a wooded trackway alongside a large area of ancient woodland near his home this month.

The apple, which Thomas said was “unlike any I’d seen before”, had come from a lone old apple tree in the hedgerow with a large number of fruit on it.

J. Arbury said it was “a very interesting apple”. It is clearly not a planted tree, but a seedling that could be a cross between a cultivated apple and a wild Malus sylvestris, a European crab apple, he said.

Dr Trevor Dines, at botanical specialist at Plantlife, said: “Archie has joined a small and select group of people that have discovered something entirely new in our natural world.”

It’s crazy to me how many apple varieties there are! I can’t find the exact image but I watched something on grafting a few months ago and they showed tons of variety

It looks like something that you’ll find under a bed during spring cleaning
