Can I change the apples that grow on my tree from cooking apples to normal ones?

Answer 1

Plnat a new tree. Or grat a branch from a tree you want. Grafts tend to work only on slender new growth. So even if you grafted shoots onto your existing tree, it would be several years before you had the new apples.

Doesn't take much more time than that to grow an entirely new tree.

Answer 2

By normal do you mean apples you can eat from your hand?- if the current apples are "sour" they may not be ripe yet. If you can pick the apple by gently twisting the stem-- it's ripe. If when they are a good size and still are "sour"-- they are great used in applesauce, apple jelly and canned for apple pies in the winter. If you want to eat them fresh-- then wash and cut and sprinkle with sugar if that is what's missing-- put the slices in fresh apple cake-- wonderful!!
Cooking apples are just apples with less natural sugar in the flesh-- "eating apples" therefore are apples with more natural sugar in the flesh. I personally prefer the "cooking" apple both ways. I know lots of folks think the Delicious apple is the best sweet apple-- I don't agree.
I had a "Delcon" from Henry Field-- a genetic dwarf that I grew organically. Was good for all I've mentioned and anything else I could find to make-- I miss my apple tree!!
Good luck

I truly don't see how this can be done. I would think you would have to plant a different tree.

Apples are very good no matter what tree.
