could be. it's the only one i've ever seen actually. it was there when my uncle bought the farm/tract. an old house on the spot next to the tree. no tellin' how old it was.

it finally died out, many years later. it might have been a cooking apple too. i ate it raw off the tree, or picked up off the ground. in June, it was a treat.

my Grandmom had a late summer yellow apple she made preserves out of. a Lodi maybe. ripe long before the late summer/fall apples.

the fall cooking apples were probably some variety of horse apple or related. hard, firm.
