If you plant a macintosh or Haralson or golden delicious seed, you will not get the same type of tree as the apple seed you planted. These trees are hybridized, so just like when you grow hybrid corn, you can’t plant the seeds & get your honey & pearl, you can’t plant a Haralson seed [...]

i’m thinking of growing a apple tree and i live in the south and wanted to know if there is a chance that an apple tree would survive in this climate. is there a certain kind of apple tree that would survive better?
