message: Eastern Canada? What, all of Quebec and all the maritimes provinces and possibly all of Nunvat as well? that's pretty big compared to New England. I don't think they grow apples in all the permafrost. Was this written by George Bush or something?--99.248.211.46 (talk) 23:53, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The McIntosh Red (or McIntosh, colloquially "Mac") is an apple cultivar with red and green skin, a tart flavor, and tender white flesh. It becomes ripe in late September. It is traditionally the most popular cultivar in New England and Eastern Canada 

message: A descendant is a relative in the direct line of descent. This includes grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on. Ther must be thousands of descendants of the original Mcintosh around the world. While we would not call the offspring of a tree a "child", I would suggest "first-generation descendant". Any better suggestions?  Andreas  (T) 14:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Descendant 

message: I kind of thought I knew what a cultivar is, but from this article I see that I don't.
Can someone please explain how, if the last surviving descendant of the "original" Mcintosh apple tree died in 2011, it is still possible to grow McIntosh apples?  
Maybe the other 19 seedlings that didn't survive past 1830 had descendants themselves whose descendants still survive?  Or please do explain.
Wait! Is it that trees grown from a McIntosh appleseed are not considered descendants of the tree that bore the apple whose seed it is?
I really don't know.  Maybe if I'm so confused, other people might also be, so whatever the answer is, maybe it could be included in the article?  (The article on cultivars wasn't much help with this question.)
