Why are we using Fleshy Fruits apple?
History
The center of diversity of the genus Malus is in
eastern Turkey. The apple tree was perhaps the earliest tree to be cultivated
and its fruits have been improved through selection over thousands of years.
Alexander the Great is credited with finding dwarfed apples in Kazakhstan in
Asia in 328 BCE those he brought back to Macedonia might have been the
progenitors of dwarfing root stocks. Winter apples, picked in late autumn and
stored just above freezing, have been an important food in Asia and Europe for
millennia, as well as in Argentina and in the United States since the arrival
of Europeans Apples were brought to North America by colonists in the 17th
century, and the first apple orchard on the North American continent was
planted in Boston by Reverend William Blaxton in 1625. The only apples native
to North America are crab apples, which were once called "common
apples". Apple varieties brought as seed from Europe were spread along
Native American trade routes, as well as being cultivated on Colonial farms. An
1845 United States apples nursery catalogue sold 350 of the "best"
varieties, showing the proliferation of new North American varieties by the
early 19th century. In the 20th century, irrigation projects in Washington State
began and allowed the development of the multibillion dollar fruit industry, of
which the apple is the leading product.
Until the 20th century, farmers stored apples in frost
proof cellars during the winter for their own use or for sale. Improved
transportation of fresh apples by train and road replaced the necessity for
storage. In the 21st century, long-term storage again came into popularity, as
"controlled atmosphere" facilities were used to keep apples fresh
year-round. Controlled atmosphere facilities use high humidity and low oxygen
and carbon dioxide levels to maintain fruit freshness.
