What type of apple tree is this?

Is the tree drafted? How tall is the tree and when did it begin to start fruiting?

The apples in the second picture seem to be Pink Ladies - but I'm not sure!

I have no idea if the tree is drafted or not.It started fruiting about a month ago.I picked one apple to see if it's ripe but it's not and the birds are already eating it.Some are even dropping on the ground.

Sorry - I meant grafted! Has another part of an apple tree been grafted to this one?

I would put netting over your apple tree. Hardware stores sell netting big enough to cover the tree for under $20 - and you will get to eat your apples. After I put netting over our raspberry canes, we actually got to eat some delicious raspberries and the birds got much less!

Thankyou,i will buy a net.Do i need to put fertiliser?

I would put some fertiliser on in amounts recommended on the packet. Even some Seasol. Too much fertiliser could burn the plant and reduce the apple yield though!
