If they had a one in ten chance of a decent apple, I might say try it, but the odds against it are more like 1 in the tens of thousands, or worse. People are going to reply that they had good luck with certain stone fruits, etc., but these are different species of fruit with different genetic characteristics. Apples do not reproduce anything genetically close, directly from their seed. There are no shortcuts in growing apple trees. End of story. Sherwin D. The apple tree I have in my yard is "Golden Dorset" or "Dorset Golden", a chance seedling from Bermuda. Unfortunately the people there didn't know as much as you, or they would have eliminated it at the first opportunity. Things with a one in a million probability happen every day in this world, sometimes people even win the lottery. I like my story better than yours. While I have lived with the idea of never trying anything that I don't know the outcome, I don't recommend it to others. |
