We have a mint plant that grows wild, like a weed, old people call it apple
mint plant and claim you can use it for everything. It's looks something like
catnip plant.

My apple mint is not wild but purchased from a nursery several years ago and doing well in a large pot. It grows larger than other mints of my knowledge and is quite versatile in use. I use it as I would spearmint.
It smells or taste like apples, is it used in apple jelly.
Why the name?
