Identifying an apple

Kewreeuss

Some years ago I planted two cox's pippins of which only one is. A pippin.
I wonder would anyone know from my description what the other one is?
It is a fine big apple, bright red skin almost all over and very shiny, quite white flesh, juicy and sweet flavour. Not as sweet as pink lady, would be a bit cox-y alright. Imagine sleeping beauty's apple.
The major flaw about this apple is the texture, its very close and is like eating rice cakes or polystyrene . Despite this, as I said it is juicy which I would not have expected given the texture. And the pips are dark brown. I don't know how to load pictures I'm afraid.
Would anyone have any ideas?

To insert an image when you are posting, look at the line of icons directly above your post. The postcard with 2 mountains (insert image comes up when your mouse hovers above it) allows you to insert photos

Thanks, will check Katy and will have a go at posting a photo soon.

If you can get an apple to Irish Seed Savers in Scarriff Co Clare they will identify it for you no problem. You could even join up when you're there, well worth it.

I found how to post pictures, these are the apples.
They have a lovely flavour, sharp tangy but sweet, it is actually quite like the cox's pippin we have. Even though the texture of the flesh is spongy like rice cakes they are juicy. I can't understand why the texture is so strange.
Do you reckon I could post an apple down to the apple people?

Thats interesting, about 9 years ago I got a range of different apples from Seed Savers and have one that is very like the one you describe / picture - but I cannot find the name of it anywhere. I'll be interested to find out what it is :-)
