Well one more thing would be to take off some of the male flowers and see if they seem the same as in the book for Apples. They aren't namwahs, ice creams, mysore, any type of cavendish or Saba type and that rules out a lot of what else you'd expect to find here. Can also rule out any AAA like Gros Michel or Reds. How open the petioles are seems about right for DBs. The fruiting height is also in the right range. And given that they are by far the most common type you'll find home grown around here, the odds are on DBs. The fruit size and shape also looks right for that stage given the lack of fertilizer.
