>>16917225>>must be grafted from existing apple plants otherwise the fruit will be inedible>can anyone explain this?Checked and I'll gladly explain this to you.
Basically the Genome of Apples is totally fucked up.
What I mean bythis is that you can't plant an Apple seed and expect to have edible apples.
You instead will have Wild Apples that taste like shit.
So basically : ALL The Apples of a certain Race , like for example the Granny Smith variety, of the Golden Delicious variety come from the EXACT same Genome.
The same original tree, the same genes, are used each and everytime.
So what happens in reality is :
- You plant a random apple seed. It grows into a stump.
- You already know the apples of this tree will suck. Sowhat you do is you graft. You take a branch from the Good trees, like a branch from GrannySmih tree abd graftit on the stump, and it will give you Granny Smith apples.
So the basic rundown is that you can't plant apple seeds and get a good apple tree.
You will instead get wild apples (that are disgusting and acidic) that you can't eat.
All the apples of the same variety come from the same Genome.The same DNA.
here you go, I hope it's not too long and easy to understand.
