Apple Facts for Kids

Apple Facts

Apples are the apple of our eye! One of Snackster Sam's first discoveries on the Blue Planet was apples. They grow on trees and come in thousands of varieties. 


HOW IT GROWS
Apples seem simple enough, but there is a lot more to this fruit than you know! 

Apples grow on trees. Before the apple can grow, the tree fills with blossoms. The flowers are pollinated by bees and then the apple can grow. 

Apples are harvested at the end of summer.
