I have a grafted tree from an old tree in my neighborhood. The apple is really nice, and I would love to get it identified. I tried to contact WSU and ended up in a really funky loop. Anyway, if you know of a way I can get my tree genetically identified I would love to know.

Hello,
At the bottom of this article below they list University of Washington (My Fruit Tree) and UC Davis as sources to get apple DNA tested. Perhaps one of these locations will be fruitful for you.
