If you want choice and selection, you've come to the right fruit. There are over 7,000 varieties around the world. You've got a wide selection of color- red, yellow, golden and green in many hues. Qualities vary on sweetness, uses, firmness (crunchy, anyone?), size and more.

Not sure you have enough space for a big 'ole apple tree? There are plenty of dwarf varieties that take up far less space and generally only grow 10-15 feet.
