Golden Delicious Apple

Biggest issue with my current project was, i labelled them poorly. the difficult part lies on they are all from seeds! Sometimes I germinate 2-3 varieties, but i didn't label them (hoping that my memories would do the job). sometimes i do, but the water content in the process, the casing i used to keep the seeds tumbled, and other factor makes me confuse again.

During my occasional reading about apples, i stumbled upon golden delicious many times. almost all of the apple variety would have GD as one (and some multiples) of the parent. Can't help but to think if i ever wanted an apple tree that would fruit, then the best bet would be GD seedlings.

GD actually looked like a pear. but it tasted like apple still of course. 4-5 months ago I was lucky that Jaya Grocer did sell them for RM 4 an apple. bought 2 of them, each only have 2 seeds unfortunately. So I started to keep them in the freeze in wet tissues (unfortunately with another variety seeds which i forgot from which apple seed). it all germinate just fine

As the seedlings grow, my worry grow - which one is exactly GD seedling again? this one on the left grew very well. but it doesn't really have the characteristics of an apple tree. Rather, it more resembles more of a pear. it grew very well, now about 1 foot tall

This is my pear tree. a failed project. this small fella suppose to be 1 year age, but still at this small (1 inch)










Hence i thought this could actually be the one. Problem is, it might take years to actually know

By far i have about 30 potted apple trees, with nearly 20 planted scattered in Bangi and Ipoh, few giveaway hoping that some if not 1 would grew and benefited the squirrels and birds.
