Apples were introduced to Americans by the Pilgrims in  Massachusetts Bay Colony,  and today there are around 2,500 varieties of apple trees in the US—100 of which are commercially grown. Only the crabapple is native to the US. The popularity of the apple —whether it is Red Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Golden Delicious—is clear: The USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture) estimates the average American eats around 26 pounds a year!
