There are seedless apple varieties like the Spencer Seedless, but it seems that their quality isn’t so hot.
I want to know what happened to Mrs. Libby Wilcox’s freak tree, reported in 1941.
“The first coreless, seedless apples known to science were discovered only last year. Weighing a plump quarter-pound each, they grow on a freak tree in Mrs. Libbie Wilcox’s backyard in Huntington Park, Calif.”
“This week the Department of Agriculture is working with the tree in the hope of making seedless apples as commonplace as seedless oranges. Since there are no seeds to plant, the new fruit must be propagated by grafts on normal apple trees.”
