when my parents sold my (passed away) grandfather's farm, they took a sapling of the 150 year old apple tree. Those apples are so delicious.

They're tiny and acidic, but the flavors are so complex compared to a supermarket apple that's giant and sweet.

Would have to be a branch that was spliced, and wouldn't be 150 years old, apple trees don't live that long.

Either way, the worst office snack IMHO is the apple, the person sitting next to me, taking a big bite, munching with their mouth open.

I raise you one Apple tree estimated to be around 370 years old:

But yes, most Apple trees seem to stop bearing fruit around 50 years of age max and rarely live beyond 90-100 years as far as I can tell.

Could also be. In any case it was old and the apples tasted like nature intended them to

Graft would still produce genetically identical apples.
