In the mid-1800's, there were 1000's of varieties of apples in the U.S; one of the most diverse of food crops. However, the industrial agricultural industry destroyed that world, deciding to promote only a few varieties world-wide.While the rest of the varieties did not become biologically extinct, they became commercially extinct. However, new varieties are being developed constantly in recent years. Some of these newer and some older varieties and the way (s) they may best be used are listed below.
