Anyone can count the seeds in an apple. No one can count the apples in a seed

...Is your name Mike?

>>2
Yes. Mike Kirkbride.

>>1 A successful seed results in a tree bearing ~300-400kg of apples per year

>>1
there is zero apple in a seed. think about it.

>>5 a seed represents less than 1/1000 of apples volume but not 0.
You could say seed has ~0.00003 apple units in it.

>>6
No because a seed actually has zero apple. Don't you see?!

these days they have what are called ⁶⁶super apples⁹⁹ that have no seeds. They come from the branches of a singles mother plant believed to be holy and is kept alive by complex cloning methods. However, no commercially sold banana has seeds, for the same reasons, yet these bananas are not known as super. It's mostly a marketing ploy, methinks.

Are you kidding? What kind of seed can fit an apple, let alone produce one. Retarded.

New apple trees are grafted from existing ones, nobody grows them from seed.

>>10
Are you kidding? Then how come apples still contain seeds? How come I threw apples into my backyard as a kid and now I go back and I see a few trees, presumably apple, growing there?

>>11
Okay, I revise my previous statement to: only morons grow them from seeds.

Dubs-kun (>>11 (_{check them})), you presume thoase trees are of the apple variety, but have you subjected yoar assumption to the rigoars of empirical examination? I think not.
