Method
Hitting the road with a cup of coffee in a travel mug, my search for wild roadside apple trees begins. I find what I am looking for, a row of gnarled, unpruned wild apple trees growing side by side on a gravel road. I can see right away that some are red, others yellow, some big, some small. I pick some, open my notebook and make my predictions (or should I say guesses?). Which apple will taste best? Which will be sweetest? Which one will taste awful?
Hypothesis
I doubt I will be able to predict which apple tastes best just by looking at them.
The Predictions
Smaller apples will be the most sour.
Larger, redder apples will be sweeter.
