You don't have to assume. It's not. A long life for an ape tree is 80 years. Most don't live past 50. So a direct decendent it probably is not either. It woukd be 4-7 apple trees and pollinators down the road. One apple tree doesn't make apples.
 
Apple trees.... "They usually don't, but sometimes they do." I wouldn't go 350 years though.

At ye old family hunting cabin, we have a few apple trees left from the original farm/homestead, that are at least 100 years old, probably 120 or more. Most of my life there were seven. One died, no sun over grown with trees and I was too young to do anything about it.. Another some genius in the family cut down. Three years ago one fell over on it's side due to the shale and flooding. But in doing so got it away from the maple trees, it's now getting plenty of light and thriving. It's just horizontal. Though I'm sure the same genius will cut it up soon enough. :(

The neighbor has the remnants of a small apple orchard behind the house. Sadly it was let go and taken over by large trees to shaded them out and they've mostly all died. There are a couple still alive, though not long for the world, again because of no light and lack of care. But there's documentation they've been there since the 1860's?

It's crazy seeing it with apple trees, and pear trees where they are killed because they come apart at the graft line. Despite growing together for decades from a sapling to to a giant tree, they never really quite "become one".
 
And also when a 20mph hit gave everyone scoliosis and recurring concussion problems for the rest of their lives
Not so sure about that. Me and millions of people somehow survived uninjured driving without 20 airbags. Now you get into a 20 mph crash and you get 20 fucking airbags exploding at 170 decibels causing all manner of injury that you otherwise would not have. I'll happily take my chances with just a seat belt and real bumpers.

It's the cost of replacing air bags and computers that lead to the high percentage of "finder bender's" resulting in vehicles being "Totaled" after a minor hit. It also tags the vehicle as "Rebuilt" when a small shop replaces a few parts and sells the vehicle.
All this results in higher auto insurance premiums.

Yep. Part of this nanny state we have lived in since the 1990's where any and all risk must be eliminated. You know, it's "for the children". Fuck the children and leave me alone to live my life ;)
 
More confirmation, that 'they' are putting the drug into the food supply.

Tennessee Moves to Classify 'Vaccine Lettuce' as a Drug​

"A bill that would classify as a drug certain foods with vaccine materials added to them was passed by the Tennessee Senate and now awaits Governor Bill Lee's signature into law amid concerns about research on putting immunity boosters into lettuce.

The proposed law, HB 1894, was passed in a 23-6 Senate vote last Thursday after getting the House's green light in a 73-22 vote in early March."
