The apple is a fleshy fruit from the apple tree. It is in the species Malus domestica in the rose family Rosaceae. The apple is one of the most grown tree fruits.
The apple tree came from Central Asia. Its wild ancestor is still there today. There are more than 7,500 kinds of different apple trees. Blossoms come out in spring at the same time that the leaves begin to bud. The flowers are white. They also have a slightly pink color.
Different cultivars are available for temperate and subtropical climates. One large collection of over 2,100 apple cultivars is at the National Fruit Collection in England. Most of these cultivars are grown for eating fresh (dessert apples). However, some are grown simply for cooking or making cider. Cider apples are usually too tart to eat immediately. However, they give cider a rich flavor that dessert apples cannot.
Most popular apple cultivars are soft but crisp. Colorful skin, easy shipping, disease resistance, 'Red Delicious' apple shape, and popular flavor are also needed. Modern apples are usually sweeter than older cultivars. This is because popular tastes in apples have become different. Most North Americans and Europeans enjoy sweet apples. Extremely sweet apples with hardly any acid taste are popular in Asia and India.
