We had a big very old Haralson apple tree go down a couple of years ago and now a new sucker tree from the stump is go to deliver its first apples.
Will they be true to type?

Yes, if it wasn't grafted on some other rootstock.

Yes, is it wasn't grafted on some other rootstock. Which is an uncertain thing with named apple varieties. |

Generally, the graft is just above ground level. If the sprout is above where the original graft was, you will get Haralson apples.

We have several trees doing that this year. An old macintosh died a few year ago, but a slow growing sucker apeared later. It still hasnt produced any fruit.
This year most of our stone fruit trees died. I suspect borers. Lost 2 cherry trees, a grafted plum tree, an almond tree, and the peach tree almost died, but is recovering slowly. And an apple tree died unexplainably.
Suckers have apeared for the cherry tree and the almond tree after the tree's were sawed to a stump.

It's been a while since this thread started?,what happened with your apples?true to type or were they from the rootstock?,if they weren't true you could always try grafting the sucker,big old rootstock like that should have some real energy to grow it on fast
