minus-square@perishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish34•11 months agoIt blows my mind how many apple varieties (“cultivars”) exist. Spoiler: over 7,000! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apple_cultivars
minus-square@Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish12•11 months agoYeah, 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.
minus-square@perishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish11•11 months agoSorry, I’m confused by these comments. I typed “7,000”. In the US, that translates as “seven thousand”. What is wrong with that?
minus-squareAwesomeLowlanderlinkfedilinkEnglish15•11 months agoIt’s a joke. 7000! mathematically is 7000 factorial. Which means 7000 x 6999 x 6998… You can see why orchard space might be a problem.
minus-square@CheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•11 months agoI 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.
