Fruit grower Ken Morrish was left stunned when he found a golden delicious 
  apple on his tree split exactly half green, half red down the middle.

The fruit's striking colouring is thought to be caused by a random genetic 
  mutation at odds of more than a million to one.

Mr Morrish, 72, who has been harvesting the apples from trees in his garden 
  for 45 years, said: "It's truly amazing.

Experts believe that the odds of finding an apple with such a perfect line 
  between the green and the red are more than a million to one.

 "It is unlikely to be a stable mutation but it is worth checking next 
  year to see if it recurs. There are instances of some striped apples and 
  pears where the mutation remains stable including one striped pear in the 
  collection at Wisley called Pysanka."
