Apples

Physics has a lot to say about why and how apples fall from trees. It's
quite common to see apples drawn in physics texts - often on the cover.
Much importance seems to be attached to them.

But I haven't managed to find any physics texts that have much to say
about why and how the apples climb trees in the first place.

Can anybody give me a reference?

It's been suggested to me, in private correspondence, that apples
actually build trees for the specific purpose of falling from them.
Frankly, I find that to be a ridiculous idea. Any suggestions as to how
I can refute it?
