It blows my mind how many apple varieties ("cultivars") exist.
Spoiler: over 7,000!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apple_cultivars
No, it's just over 7000.
Yeah, the other number wasn't even close. I don't think you'd even be able to fit that many ~~on earth~~ in the ~~solar system~~ galaxy.
Sorry, I'm confused by these comments. I typed "7,000". In the US, that translates as "seven thousand". What is wrong with that?
It's a joke. 7000! mathematically is 7000 factorial. Which means 7000 x 6999 x 6998...
You can see why orchard space might be a problem.
Oh... 7000! thanks.
I got one!, there are only 3 trees in existence (only 1 mature enough to fruit and 2 cuttings) rn and the apples taste kinda like pears but with an apple texture.
