On the McIntosh Wikipedia page, it mentions that the McINtosh is a cultivar: A cultivar is a cultivated plant that has been selected and given a unique name because of desired characteristics; it is usually distinct from similar plants and when propagated it retains those characteristics. So, the McIntosh may have been cultivated in America, but I believe that the only apple that is fully native...originated from here (not a cultivar) is the crab apple. Hope that clarifies! Here is a list of other Cultivars, some of which were also developed in North America...

Now since I live in Canada and only about 30 kms from where the McIntosh apple comes from, I had to speak up. From Wikipedia: Every McIntosh apple has a direct lineage to a single tree discovered in 1811 by John McIntosh on his farm in Dundela, a hamlet near Morrisburg, in Dundas County, Ontario, Canada. It is because of the apples found in Canada that Europeans can have their one a day. Hi
