Useless info...
I watched a thing on TV a while back "East Malling Farm Kent" root stock is responsible for 85% of the world's commercial apple crops they're world leaders at their root stock thing.
According to the expert at the farm its the root stock that's responsible for the yeild, flavour and the amount of leafs produced by the tree, I've watched twice to be dure I'm not mistaken in what the expert said while pointing to the bottom of the graft?

Here's my graft. I didn't know it was from a tip bearing tree cut.
My tree is spur bearing.
The graft produces red apples and the flesh is pinky/red.
I kept the tree short ~ 5ft.
I've a dwarf tree out the back but it only produces a few apples bi annually. Grenadier cookers and can't remember the other one is but it's an eater.
Apple is trying to trademark images of apples – the fruit, not the computers.
Apple, the computer company has been trying to trademark the apple in Switzerland since 2017 and has launched similar applications in several other countries, per
Wired UK. It submitted an application to the Swiss Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) for the IP rights to a black-and-white depiction of a Granny Smith apple. In 2022, the IPI partially awarded Apple's request, citing that generic imagery of common items are considered to be in the public domain.
