The subject is a slight exaggeration. Anyway we all know the first apple tree
was in the Garden of Eden.

No we don't. The tree was of the knowledge of good and evil. No mention
is made in Genesis about an apple tree. It's tradition that holds that
it was an apple tree. Equally tradition holds that it was passion fruit!

More likely yo have been a pomegranate, IMO. ;-)

In a former life or what?

Very former if it was Biblical! I think the pomegranate because it
has always been an artistic symbol of fecundity and after they ate the
fruit of the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve lost their innocence. ;-)
