It blows my mind how many apple varieties (“cultivars”) exist.

Spoiler: over 7,000!

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?

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.

Apples do not grow true from seed, you get a new variety unless you clone.

Japanese Maples are the same way. All named varieties are grafted clones.
