Default Apple Tree From Seed in Mid-Atlantic

Are you saying that there is a better chance the resultant apples will taste
good?


No, I did not say that. Your rabid resistance to anyone having a bit
of fun growing an apple from seed makes you see it that way, however.


First of all, I suggest you stop trying to demonize me. I am not the
grinch who stole Christmas. I'm simply trying to dispell the belief that
someone can expect to get a reasonable tasting apple by planting a
tree from a seed. If people think it's fun to plant apple seeds to see if
they
will make an apple tree and wind up with a spitter, be my guest.



What's really incredible is that you believe that.


No, I don't and once again I never said that I notice you didn't
bother correcting John's ridiculous statement about the seeds being
the result of the rootstock and not the flowering part of the tree.
You go absolutely blind with fury every time anyone brings up trying
to grow an apple from seed. Calm down!


I suggest you check your language vs. mine. You are the one who
needs to calm down.



Now why don't you get down off your high horse and stop trying to
convince everyone how stupid they are for trying something for fun?


I guess some people don't like having the facts presented to them.

I would not give a chemistry set to a child if I thought they could
blow themselves up with it. There are many other gardening things
kids can do, which are much more rewarding.
