      A while ago I learned the original Chinese name for a kiwifruit (which is originally from China, and was rebranded as a New Zealand thing thanks to Cold War tensions) is a "monkey peach" This is a 1000x better name and makes me far more interested in eating them

      Between kiwis, litchis and aloe it really feels like east asia got all the real good fruits

      I have found that Sugar Bee apples are a significant improvement over Honeycrisps but cost twice as much as Honeycrisps because as a novel variant of Honeycrisps they are still under propagation rights and a cut goes to the original breeder Yes, IP law affects apples

      You could try to "pirate" apples but planting seeds from apples doesn't actually work, because seeds have been pollinated and their DNA has been randomized (it's the child of the original tree and not its identical clone)

      It would, obviously, also take a very long time for a whole new apple tree to grow Stealing an apple variety requires a sample large enough to graft onto another tree, so it will be ready for harvest in a short time And such samples are extremely tightly controlled

          It's apple DRM, that's why apples still under IP protection aren't grown in the kind of orchards available to the public where you can just walk around and pick them

          (Now I'm thinking of that SNL sketch making fun of apple-picking orchards "My girlfriend picked a little too enthusastically and the whole branch came off and now Hank says we owe him two grand")
