The Greeks were growing several varieties of apples by the late 300,s BC, and the ancient Romans also grew and loved the fruit. Researchers have even found the charred remains of apples at a Stone Age village in Switzerland.
European settlers brought apple seeds and trees with them to the New World. Records from the Massachusetts Bay Company indicate that apples were being grown in New England as early as 1630.
Apples have appeared in legends in our
past.
In the Bible, Adam and Eve are tempted by apples in the Garden of
Eden, and in the Swiss story of William Tell, an archer is arrested and then
