Oddbean new post about login | logout Jesus Christ… an apple should be like 50¢ Seriously where are apples $2-$3 even!?
And this is why planting an apple tree or a few is a good idea. Even if it's potted in an apartment. Wages don't keep up with debasement. If we want good food its up to us to figure that shit out.
had an amazing apple tree growing up on my grandparents' cottage asked my mom if she could bring me the seeds she said she can't because customs would take them away... it's illegal to bring in foreign apple seeds from another country but it's totally cool for Asia to bring in deadly hammerhead soil slugs into Canada evidently
That's disappointing. What cultivar was it? Maybe you can still get one there just not from seed. Honestly buying a 3 or 4 year old tree is worth it. Otherwise you're 7 years or so from fruit.
might be this from the description and region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonovka the tree was pretty short and all the apples green, was growing on our dacha which is Russian for cottage, though in ukraine. they were hardy but they were also sweet and tart. so it must be some random subspecies.i think they were slightly smaller than the pictures and the apples were pretty geometry perfect, idk maybe I'm wrong about the species very cool it can survive winters. that's great because I live somewhere that gets very cold now
Well I hope you're able to figure it out for sure and find a way to get one on your current property. Also, set up a lightning wallet. I tried to zap you but you don't seem to be set up.
