Originating in Central Asia, the apple tree has traveled far and wide to become one of the most cultivated fruit-bearing trees globally​1​​. Its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, still finds its home in Central Asia. China holds the title of the world's largest apple producer​. The bowl of small apples are called Manzana criolla. Colombia imports over 90% of consumed apples, most from Chile. Colombia only grows a few varieties between 6,500 and 10,000 feet. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia
