How do I tell?
I have an apple tree and this year the fruit yield is amazing
got 2 apples!!
anyway how do I know if they are cookers or eaters.
Used to have at old house 3 wonderful baking apple trees, and no way could you eat one of those
( not the tree the apple) tooooooooooooooo bitter.
but this one I just don't know.
how do I tell

Have a bite out of one
Cooking apples are a bit larger than the average eating apple , well they are in the shops. No cooking apples on ours it's only been in a few months.
We have 12 Apples on our tree it's a Cox we know because we left the label on, and the Victoria plum tree gone mad we have given about 15 Lbs away can't keep up with eating them.

I have eaten one and it was ok bit tart .....bit like a braeburn...which I think they might be
and I have baked a pie with them and it was awful and I make a nice pie!
so I don't think they are bakers

I'd hate the mess, so I'd leave them to it and go shopping!!!
