The annoying thing about this website is I can't find anywhere that lists the apples by rank, in any of their 12 categories. A ranking website should, y'know, rank things.

If you click on the "Pick an Apple" menu tab it shows the list of apples by rank, https://applerankings.com/pick-an-apple/

No, it just shows them in alphabetical order.

You have obviously never tasted a fresh, Japanese grown Fuji apple. They are perfectly crunchy, and some of them are so sweet that the core is clear. Once you have tasted one, there is no comparison (not even your favored Honey Crisp).

Oh man, I liked a Cameo apple so much the other year that I kept the seeds to grow something at least remotely similar. Right now the tree is standing a good 8ft tall, and I expect it to yield some fruit next fall. Only time will tell if it's only a 50/100 apple, or a great one like I remember. Actually, looking at the comments ( https://applerankings.com/cameo-apple-review/ ), I'm not the only one who thinks they're…

FYI, apples don't grow true from seed. The apples you get (if any) from your tree will likely be nothing at all like the apple they came from.

Yes, I'm aware, and I'm not expecting much, but I'm really curious. I'll probably graft a couple varieties this coming spring, just to be sure I get something viable, plus it's fun to have a salad tree.

Too bad they don’t have Topaz. It would obviously rank at the top.

It is my favorite apple. Tart but also sweet.

I don't know why this one is missing, yet there are dozens of varieties I've never heard of.
