I have read that people see differences, looked for myself, and noticed that only pears seem to have a "cut" in the leaves.
Do you usually see differences between your apple and pear trees?

yep. there's a different quality to the texture of the twigs and the leaves. don't know how else i can describe how they're obviously different to me.

Just so; pear twigs seem plumper to me, the buds fatter, the blooms whiter and flatter, the leaves thicker, and then, of course, there is the fruit.

apples are generally just a little fuzzier, too.

Still learning about plant tags, btw. What worked, so far: --white-out marker on generic black planter. (Dust it, first.) --the sticker on the piece of fruit (surprisingly resilient), even on a porous stake. --Thick, clear, plastic from recyclables. (straitens-out in hot sun, if you weigh it down). Double-wide, clear tape has been weather resistant (not weather proof) in the shade, forms a good, wide seal, against cleanest plastic. Someone, around here, awhile ago, suggested to save apple seeds. I didn't find him, again, so planted them. If you eat a couple pieces of fruit with every meal, the seedlings will fill up several, large planters, within a few weeks! Based on the taste, color, and texture, I felt that most apples came from a couple of different parents, fwiw. They will not be true-to-label, but all of my seedlings have eventually been productive, when well-cared-for.
