GLORIA KAUFER GREENE

hroughout history, the
apple has had the role
of being the quintes-
sential fruit that represents
all fruit. For instance, though
the Bible does not specifical-
ly mention a particular fruit
in Genesis, painters and
sculptors who wanted to
depict the Garden of Eden .<
chose the apple to represent
the "forbidden fruit" eaten by —(
Adam and Eve.
And whenever a new fruit ,----(
or vegetable was discovered
that was round, larger than a
cherry and smaller than a
melon, it was often temporari-
ly called an "apple" of some
sort until a more suitable
name could be found. Among
such misnomers that have
stuck until relatively recent
times are Chinese apples
(pomegranates), love apples
(tomatoes), and custard ap-
ples .(cherimoyas). Consider
also, the pineapple, an "apple"
resembling a pine cone. And,
French for "potato" is
"pomme de terre" or "apple of
the ground."
All this interest and favor-
itism for the apple probably
came about because it has
been enjoyed — in one form or
another — since antiquity. In
fact, apple seed fossils have
been found in prehistoric sites
in Switzerland.
As to the cultivation.of ap-
ples by humankind, it is not
known exactly when and
where the fruit was first pur-
posefully planted and bred.
However, historians are sure
that the apple was grown and
favored by the ancient Egyp-
tians. Furthermore, Rabbinic
legend tells us that pious
Israelite women went out in-
to the Egyptian apple or-
chards to give birth so their
newborn sons would not be
found and slain by Pharaoh's
men. Some say that this is
the reason Ashkenazic recipes
for Pesach haroset always in-
cludes apples.
After producing fruit, apple
trees require a minimal two-
month period of dormancy —
such as during cold weather
— to restore their strength for
another season. Therefore,
early apples did particularly
well in the cooler parts of the
world such as in Europe.
Because apple seeds do not
breed true to strain, many dif-
ferent varieties were easily
developed. (lb reproduce ap-
ple trees that have fruit iden-
tical to the parent type, it is
necessary to graft part of the
original tree onto new
rootstock.)
When the early colonists
first came to America, they
brought with them apple
seeds and graftings, and the
fruit quickly took hold in the
New World. One man, John
