   @demofox @glassbottommeg In Warsaw after the war a lot of apple trees were planted on purpose. They were then left to grow on their own. Their fruit is small, hard, and on the sour end of the spectrum.

   At the same time, crumbly bred varieties are totally a thing. I don't like them, but some people here love them. They're also considered best for proper szarlotka (a kind of apple pie).

     @glassbottommeg I've heard that apples in the wild are terrible in texture and flavor both, and that the apples in the stores are supremely bred for their better properties. Like we are eating tea cup poodles, not wolves.

     There's an apple tree on my lot that produces what I can only describe as "mealy" apples. Chewing them, they crumble instead of snap. Brown easily. Bruise incredibly easily.

     It isn't a texture I want more than one of a year but they're unique

     Anyone have a clue on variety? Someone thought "glass"?
