    The interesting thing about apples, they're clones. They clone the trees to get the same apple, such as Red Delicious.

    If you plant 6 seeds from a single apple, you'd likely get 6 different types of apples, 95% would be sour. Planting an apple from seed is like playing the lottery, those that are less tasty eaten out of hand can be made into hard cider

    Assuming that you live in an ;'advanced' country, I find it hard to believe that you have never seen and tasted an apple. I suspect a troll.

    In French the word is 'pomme' - note spelling.

    Botanically, it's a fruit, more specifically a "pome".

    The fruit of an apple tree became larger by man's selective manipulation.  The bible uses it in Genesis  as 'the fruit of knowledge' because it represented what human input could accomplish with nature.

    Wheat was developed threw human manipulation and selection. Great middle eastern civilizations developed by the grain of this hybrid. But it failed entering any aspect of their religion.

    The Aztec did the same with corn by selective breeding a food plant it could build a civilization with.  In turn it placed corn in the center of it's religion as humans being born from a corn plant.

    The fruit of an apple tree. What do you think it is? By the way, what has this to do with Religion and Spirituality? Apples are neither religious nor spiritual.
