Pickers found an apple that has three fruits growing from one stem.
Cameron Chaplin said his family has grown fruit for generations but had never come across an apple so unique.
"It was just a normal picking day and one of the pickers, Norm, come across it," Cameron said. "He picked it of the tree, and said to my dad Trevor 'here's on for the grandkids'.
"We all thought it was an odd apple and (Trevor) said he had never seen anything like that before."
Each apple is a normal size but have grown into one fruit on the same stem.
Cameron said it has provided a lot of laughs on Facebook.
"It has put a smile on people's faces," he said. "A lot of shocked people have been asking what we're feeding the apples out there.
"But we just don't know how its happened."
