They're all propagated from cuttings. You need to to spend 5(ish) years to get a crop to see what the apples actually taste like, then you've got one tree to take cuttings from to get the first 'generation', which you'll be waiting a similar amount of time to get fruit, longer to get a decent crop. It just takes time to scale up the number of trees, from just the one, and then for the trees to get mature enough to bear a decent crop. |
