I am an apple breeder and geneticist. My research focuses in genotypically characterizing the world's economically, historically, and culturally important apple cultivars to develop new apple cultivars and to preserve wild apples and historic cultivars
Unfortunately, there are no organized photos for the apples from these collections. However, there are good photos for many of the accessions at the USDA apple collection in Geneva (www.ars-grin.gov) and the National fruit collection in the UK (www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/index.php).
The next paper that is nearing submission will be on related the different wild species of apples to cultivated apples and to various apples held in germplasm collections. Here is an image from an early proof of concept test I conducted in 2020 while I was still a post-doc.
Here are some recent publications on pedigree reconstruction in apple that I coauthored:
on apples from Bosnia and Herzegovina

on Danish apples
doi.org/10.1007/s107...
and on Dutch apples

I used to post to Twitter to communicate my scientific publications mostly in the area of apple genomics/genetics, particularly in the area of pedigree reconstruction and ancestry in apples. I will now do so on Bluesky.
