Also linked to the fruit is the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil both trees located in the Garden of Eden
I suppose the main idea that informed this phrase come from John 15:1
One of the ideas that informed this phrase was the song 'Strange Fruit' by Billie Holiday. And the poem 'Strange Fruit' by Seamus Heaney.
When you keep forgetting how old you are, that tends to mean you're at least 50 (from my experience, at least!)
