Every time an apple tree grows from seed, an entirely new cultivar is born. The fruit from that tree will be the first and only of its kind, never known or tasted before.
There are estimated to be 7,000+ named cultivars of apples in the world, a comically intimidating number.Ā Some of these apples look like frogs; some are pink inside; some look psychedelic, and some look like stars. Through photographs of rare & curious apples, āOdd Applesā celebrates the enchanting diversity and odd nature of apples, expanding our perception of what they look like and what they taste like.
