Apples in Farmstead World — crop in the game, and what it is on a real farm.
Apples grow on trees of the rose family and are picked in autumn, and most eating apples are grafted so every tree is a copy of a chosen variety.
Because a seed-grown tree is almost never like its parent, growers clone the best trees and prune and train them to bear reachable fruit.
Farm facts about apples
Apples were carried out of Central Asia along trade routes, and the trees grow best where winters are cold enough to give them a dormant rest. (en.wikipedia.org)
Almost every apple tree is grafted onto a rootstock, so the fruit you pick is a clone of one chosen variety rather than the seed it grew from. (en.wikipedia.org)
