Never heard about that, but some times things like that are done due to public health reasons, or to protect indigenous plants from non-native plants...are apples native to england? [/QUOTE]Give over dude, course they are. We used to have 57 million varieties, in the old days before standardisation and huge volumes for cost efficiencies. Whether they're native to the US, that I don't know. Maybe the settlers took 'em over?
