Apple Blossom 'Golden Elf'.. I Think

[Rhiannon]

Iwanagara Apple Blossom 'Golden Elf'. At least that's what the tag says..


I bought it last year form the nursery. It was on the sale table and not looking too healthy. I felt sorry for it and asked for an extra discount and took it back to my office where it seems to have recovered.

My question is, if it is a Golden Elf. What species group does it belong to?

Thanks for your help!
