There is a division of apples by taste. There are three main types:

Dessert. These apples have high taste characteristics. Basically, they are eaten fresh, because they lose their shape during processing, for example, they can fall apart. Also, during processing, they can lose their characteristic taste.

Canteens. These apples are mainly used for preparations such as jams or preserves. Taste qualities are not as high as in dessert ones.

Universal. This name speaks for itself. These apples have good taste characteristics for fresh consumption, and are also well suited for processing, since they do not lose their appearance and taste.

In order to plant apple trees on your site, it is recommended to find out which varieties are best for you, what kind of harvest you want to get and for what: to eat right away or for processing. Or maybe both?
