It can be used in many situations. The fact that apples don&#8217;t fall far from the trunk, since they are too heavy to fly, has not hindered their dissemination all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Apples are originally from Central Asia in today&#8217;s Kazakhstan. More than 2000 years ago the Greeks and Romans spread their cultivation all over Europe. Since any apple pip can be the origin of an entirely new variety, there is a huge diversity of apple varieties today. As long ago as in Roman times, it was understood that a specific, popular variety of apple could only be reproduced by taking the wood of this variety and inserting it into another younger tree. This process is known as grafting.<\/p>\n<p>More than 70 million tons of apples are grown in the world every year, making apples the most popular fruit world-wide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pflanzenveredelung\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pflanzenveredelung<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an old German proverb similar in meaning to the English &#8220;a chip off the old block&#8221;.
