There are no GM apples on the market, some are being grown that have a
fireblight gene installed,but not released, Do you you know what shellac
is made from?? The Lac beetle, yes bug juice sprayed on grocery store
fruit, I grow Hawkeye, Starkcrimson, and Red Chief red dels, They all
taste about the same, proper thinning and time of picking is the
determining factor, Hawkeye is very hard to sell to the public, has a
washed out look. None keep crisp. They need to go the way of Ben Davis.
