Just a side note here... it's shocking to drive through the orchards of Washington and Oregon and see how much fruit never gets harvested because there's no commercial market for it. Acres and acres of fruit left on the trees until they fall off and rot because they aren't varieties desirable in the market any longer. Why don't farmers replace with new varieties? In some cases they do, but the capital expense is considerable to tear out trees / bushes / etc and replace and wait for mature fruit.
