BasicallyBasil said:I was wondering how many people out there have ever played the apple lottery? That is planted apple trees from seed to see if they get lucky with a new tasty variety. I recall that I read or heard that it is about 1 in 10,000 chance to get a good sweet apple from planting from seed. At my parents house we have 6 or so small apple trees that are growing up. The soil is hard clay so growth has been slow but this year my parents said it looks like some of them are starting to catch on. Pictured is a photo from 2018. I don't remember what apples I used exactly as I just did a random grab bag of seeds from store bought apples.
