Can an Appleologist weigh in here? I thought apples don't give most of their fruits traits to their offspring from seeds, so you can't really breed them. I thought cultivars are only propagated by grafting, so every red delicious tree in existance should be a genetic clone of the original tree.

Edit: Found out the answer. You don't breed them (as in raise new trees from seeds) but grafted branches can mutate. If you continue to graft from a tree line with a specific properties, you get more of that property. 

People wanted Red Delicious apples that were more red and less stripey, but it turns out the genes that code for stripes also coded for delicuousness, so they became less tasty.

Not appleologist. But if trees do not pass genes trough seeds, then how? Telephaty? Im not thelepathist either.
