There's a guy's channel, Weird Explorer, who travels across the globe trying odd ( or in the case of this video, Extreme) fruits and vegetables. I watch this channel.

@caPnAhab That sounds good. I did watch one of a man who went around to old homesteads in eastern USA looking for old varieties of apple trees and he took cuttings and started them and got them growing and grew more. We need more of those old varieties, some are unique in flavor etc.

@cherokeepatti interesting. So what makes a type of apple 'old'? Is it that they are forgotten about, or kind of unknown?

@caPnAhab yes both. Long abandoned rural homesteads and the trees haven’t been trimmed out like they should be and some nearly dead but still producing a little fruit.

@caPnAhab Johnny Appleseed may be the reason there were so many varieties of apples in the USA. He distributed apple seeds which were grown. But it’s a crapshoot to plant apple seeds because you never know if you are going to get the original the seed came from or a throw back to a sour apple. That’s why apple cider and apple cider vinegar became so common too. The people didn’t want to waste the fruit and made vinegar and cider from them. You can get the right plant if you take a cutting and root it however. But it was all seeds given by Johnny Appleseed instead.
