If I had a time machine I would 100% make sure that the person who named the Red Delicious apple was brought to justice

Red Delicious was A+ in its original incarnation. Then folks kept grafting from bud sports (=sometimes a tree throws a branch that’s a little different, it’s normal) w darker & darker fruit. Selected for color instead of quality. 100+ yrs later we now have purple foamballs. https://t.co/E1K0K1DNq2
