"Cette belle pomme est à l'origine de 'Golden delicious', 'Cox's Orange  Pippin', 'Red delicious'..."

I found this article about the McIntosh Red apple:

https://www.rustica.fr/blog-redaction/pomme-mcintoch,13489.html

And wondered what the above sentence means.

I remember these apples from childhood, but haven't seen them recently. Until last week, I found some in a local market.

The apples you mention have been grown from (presumably) McIntosh Red Apple.

I'm pretty sure it will be referring to the fact that the McIntosh has been 'bred' from a cross of 'Golden Delicious', 'Cox's Orange pippin' and 'Red Delicious'

[woolybanana]

Other way round.

The text clearly says that it is the’mother’ of numerous cultivars.

According to information I have seen and heard in the past, for which I cannot supply any confirmation, as this was before the internet, new apple varieties appear randomly in Nature, and are subsequently propagated by grafting.

The McIntosh Red seems to have appeared in Canada at around the same time as the Cox did in England, in the early 19C.

Please excuse a bit of a diversion, patient people[:)]

nomoss, I see you are now doing "posh" links and I am most envious.  You showed me how to do the ones that I always use and I remember your instructions.  However, I wouldn't mind if you'd show me how to do these fancy ones.  I know cajal explained how to do them but I can understand you better than I can him[:)]  Sorry, cajal...

Edit. Sorry, I put "Reply" instead of "Quote" on my first attempt[:$]
