It is reported that the North American Indians associate apple tree with the Tree of life, as many who read the Old Testament do, by association with Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden, but I find both to erroneous, firstly apple trees were unknown in North America until the first European settlers arrived, and on the latter I find that the Ancient Sumerian, Akkadians and more have pomegranates or what like pine cones on most of their depictions of the Tree of life, and further the apple did not so much bring life but death into the lives of Adam and Eve, and the pomegranate was linked underworld and Hades, in the Greek myth concerning Persephone the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, she is abducted by Hades, she is eventually rescued but because she ate some pomegranate seeds, a food of underworld, she has to return and stay for a third of each year.
