This morning I'm learning about apples. The way you grow apples is: - you plant apple seeds - you wait for the tree to grow - you chop off the top of the tree - and attach a branch from an existing apple tree - which then fuses together, to make a hybrid that grows nice apples!Permalink Look on archive.org
