Hi there,
Apple ID is tough but some Master Gardener programs may have a local expert that can identify apple varieties. I would try contacting the Lane County Master Gardeners at 541-344-0265 (Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2-5 p.m.) to see if they have a Master Gardener who can do this. If not, I would ask them if retired horticulture agent, Ross Penhallegon, may be able to help you out with this. He has a lot of fruit tree experience but he is only working part-time due to retirement and may not be offering certain services anymore.
Good luck!
