Sports (Mutations)
Over the years, many mutations, or sports, have been identified in Red Delicious apple trees. In addition to those that were propagated without any legal protection (or cut out because they were seen as inferior) 42 sports were patented in the United States:

In 1997, the application for #4159 noted the "starchy and bland taste of some of the newer varieties."
The plant patent for #4926 promoted the sport as a dwarfing interstock, a dwarfing rootstock for pears, or to produce "crab apple" sized Delicious apples.
