The oldest known apple orchards, traced back to the Tian Shan mountains in Kazakhstan, have been producing wild apples for over 4,000 years, influencing the global varieties we eat today through ancient Silk Road trade routes. This region is often called the 'birthplace of the apple', with DNA evidence showing that most modern cultivars descend from these ancient trees.
