A new variety of apple has been discovered by a nature lover while he was out running.
Experts have confirmed the "highly unusual" fruit, which "tastes quite good", is a new variety, which Mr Thomas hopes to propagate and name.Mr Thomas, who works for wild plant and fungi conservation charity Plantlife, said the fruit came from a lone old apple tree in a hedgerow. "Excited by the pale and mottled oddity, I set about trying to get it identified with a view to perhaps one day being able to name it.
The RHS's Jim Arbury said the fruit was not a planted cultivar, but a new variety which Mr Thomas could propagate and name.
This reminded me of a former colleague. He used to eat an apple every ☕️ break, which he used to consume in it's entirety, leaving only the stalk. He also prided himself on being able to identify any apple from it's taste 😄.
Wiltshire jogger - great name for a new apple 👍😎

Randomly!? Nope. Definitely crispr.
live in Wiltshire and growing up there was a local day dedicated to celebrating apples so this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
Incredible! Have they found the tree yet? BBCBollox

Hope it tastes better than it looks.:)
My God, it's 2020, please don't bite into.

Looks vile
Cool. Is it sweet or tart? 'Quite good' is a bit vague. 🤔
Core that's good, keep ya pealers open.
What a great story. Well done Archie. That’s a proper claim to fame that is.
DO NOT EAT IT! It's still 2020, remember 😖
I hope he didn't eat it

Lovely, there are hired thugs beating up peaceful protesters in London and you are talking apples. We used to trust you.

If i saw an unknown fruit in 2020 i would certainly not pick it up, let alone eat it! 💀
more bullshit, this time BBC...again
More hugely important stories like this please and less about those police thugs beating up peaceful protesters in London today..
Next time i lose my keys im going to employ a jogger, they seem to find everything
I'm waiting for the emotional press conference, followed by an admission that they planted it there, and a public inquiry into how the case was mishandled.
Thank god 🙏

I hope they call it ‘a Wiltshire Jogger’...
