I recently watched a youtube video about why avocados cannot be grown by seed and learned about grafting. Interesting stuff. Didn't know apples also were grown through grafting.
- 3minus1 5y agoThere's an interesting discussion in Gun, Germs, and Steel where Jared Diamond claims that wild apples were inedible (IIRC due to cyanide in the seeds) and could only be domesticated after the invention of grafting technology.
- tsjq 5y agoalso give a read about those green apples. (Granny Smith?). IIRC, all of these are grafts from one single tree. cmiw pls .
