This is not the case for commercially available tree fruits. All varieties that
exhibit resistance to insects, fungi or bacteria have been produced by standard
breeding techniques. If you know of an example that was not produced by
standard breeding please enlighten us.

In case you haven't checked, genetically resistant fruit has the
pesticides built in genetically like permethrin, the neurotoxin that
occurs naturally in chrysanthemum flowers. In fact the genetic
varieties splice genes from plants such as chrysanthemum to the desired
plants.

So you can have you pesticides externally applied or internally
generated. Take your pick.
