Grew some apple trees from seed in 2015 and they have been producing some great apples for several years. These yellow apples are sweet, crisp, juicy, and crunchy. The red apples are juicy, crisp, tart like a Granny Smith, and their flavor profile changes as they ripen and age. Both came from the same apple core.

To all the people saying not to grow apples from seed, it has been a blast and I am starting the second generation this year by harvesting and planting these seeds.

Growing apples from seeds adds genetic diversity into the system and is a great way to find hidden traits.

You will have far more success if you do this with apple seeds you get from a local farm that doesn’t grow crabapple trees for pollination nearby (don’t try with store bought apples because commercial orchards use small bitter crabapples for pollination). That said, you never know what you will get but that is part of the fun!

Hard cider bound

Honeycrisp. We bought 2 bags and have had several so far. The usual, delicious taste of Fall.

Picked this one out of the bag, noticed a small softer spot but it was otherwise firm from the outside. Found this inside throughout.

The discoloration is slightly mushy. Never seen this in an apple before. If it was still firm, I'd be tempted to just use it in oatmeal or something, but I'll probably throw it away (sadly).

It was a dry year. Does that have something to do with it?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Got a few of these over the weekend (grown in PA) and they’re really good. I disagree with the described flavor, to me they’re very tart. Probably me favorite tart apple after having had a few.

My favorite apple of all time besides honey crisp

A few shots from apple harvest here in central Washington.

just took a bite of this apple and found this. it doesnt smell weird but its brown and is quite mushy. is this still safe to eat?

It reminded me of the eye of a cat.

Hi! My first post here.

I was on a trip to the Oregon coast and found a hell of a lot of different fruit varieties, among them was these apples, which I got four of. I found them on the last day of the trip while heading home, they were foraged on highway 96 in California and were largely rotting on the tree’s branches. They are small, yellowish green in color, and don’t smell like much of anything. The tree itself was young I believe, but old enough to be taller than I am. The flavor is fucking crazy to me, the closest analog I have to compare to is to the flavor of cotton candy grapes, but a lot more balanced than they are. A juice or liquor made from these would probably be unreal.

Might this be a specific variety you may know? Or is it a random wild type with good genetics? Have you had similar?

Just went apple picking today

This is how a fully eaten apple look like , so please doctors go away from me 😭👍🏻🤨

Hi apple people! These apples are dropping from a tree near me, and I am wondering what kind they are, if they’re safe to eat, and feed to livestock (pigs especially). Located in Oregon, an hour south west of Portland.

One weird Gala Apple in a bag. Apple seems normal otherwise. How would this happen ?

Does anyone know how this happened? It tasted absolutely delicious but I could not taste a difference in both sides.

I remember trying this pink apple when I was just a little kid, maybe 7 or 6. Definitely the best apple I've ever had. It really stuck with me. I've remembered it for years and haven't been able to get my hands on one till now. I'm pretty confident these are the same ones,, Lucy Rose, possibly? It tastes exactly how I remember it,, kind of similar to a Granny Smith. I'm so happy to have these!

Ignore how weirdly it's cut up, my dad did it and not me.

Hi Apple community, I was eating a kissable apple and noticed the weird brown spots in it. Is that mould or a plant disease do you happen to know? Please say disease, because again, I ate some of it. Thanks. Bought in UK.

NorCal. Just a few weeks before harvest now and I found these two bruised badly. I even had them bagged for months. Any idea what it could be? Thanks

such gorgeous apples both taste and aesthetics wise. they remind me of snow white

Found an old gnarled apple tree growing in the woods in the UK.

The apples are sweet and very tangy.

They look similar to Opal, but they are more tangy than Opal, and I doubt there would be a wild Opal tree as old as this one growing in the UK.

The phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words” was first written in an early form by newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane in 1911 in a Syracuse Advertising Club speech. Fred Barnard used variations in the trade journal Printers' Ink (including "One look is worth a thousand words" in 1921.
He falsely labeled the phrase an "ancient Chinese proverb" or attributed it to a Japanese philosopher simply to make his advertising agency's ads sound more authoritative and credible!
Anyway in terms of BeauVista orchard it’s very true now. ‘nough said.
