Re the graft, i'd go with a Malus sp. due to the young bark but i wouldn't have a clue on the cultivar.???

The graft is Howgate.

you can recognise this by the pronounced ridges either side and just below the bud with 1mm white dots on a reddish bark.

although easier to id on the hole branch with upright habit.

one of the few apples the fruit well on strong upright 2 year shoots.

Root stock m106 Vigorous not suitable for cropping trees on good soil.
