SC - Apple breeds?

[HICKS, MELISSA]

Greetings all,

Some friends of mine have recently bought a property/farm in rural Victoria,
Australia.  They sent the following request for information on "period"
apple species.  Can anyone here supply further info or suggest some avenues
of research for them?

Thanks
Meliora.
