Does the apple fall far from the tree?

Sometimes the apple recognises the tree for what it is and rejects it completely.

Apples fall from apple trees. There is a limited radius from which they can fall. Unless the tree is on a very steep hill the apple will stay relatively close to the tree. If the hill is long the apple rolls far away from the tree.

with luck the apple is picked and flown across the country. unless we're talking metaphors here.

Depends on how hard the wind is blowing.

There are always exceptions, but generally no.

it usually falls off the tree because it is getting rotten.
