Actually, what is said there about tropical fruit would also hold true for apples. The fruit of the wild apple trees in Kazakhstan don't have much to envy as far as sugar is concerned to the grocery store fruit. The only thing is in the wild there is a lot more variability in size, bitterness, astringency, sugar, and so on.

And in fact, it has been shown that selection of apple trees on sugar content and flavor dates from way before manking as bears and other large mammals have been doing it by eating the best tasting fruits and dissiminating their seeds...
