Why do apples grow on trees?
Apples grow on trees to hold the tree's seeds and help new trees grow.
Pip’s answer
- Apples grow on trees to hold the tree's seeds and help new trees grow.
- In spring, bees carry yellow flower dust between the tree's pretty flowers. Bzzz!
- Each visited flower slowly swells up into a round, juicy apple.
- Ooh, cut an apple sideways and the seeds make a little star!
For grown-ups
An apple is the fruit of the apple tree. In spring, bees and other insects carry pollen between blossoms. A pollinated flower develops into an apple that holds seeds. Animals eat the fruit and spread the seeds, helping new trees grow.
Ask your child: Can we cut an apple sideways to find the seed star?
