In "Botany Of Desire" Pollan points out that Johnny Appleseed wasn't planting apple trees for eating fruit since apples don't grow "true to seed" meaning if you plant a seed from a honey crisp, you won't get a honey crisp or even anything close. Eating apples are propagted by grafting. Apple trees planted by seed were for making hard cider.
