The apple . . . came before Adam and Eve in the story of creation. It had to have been there at least three years because that's how long it takes for a new tree to bear fruit.

In Jodi Picoult's "Songs of the Humpback Whale," the author reflects on the symbolism of the apple in the creation story, suggesting that its presence predates Adam and Eve. This notion posits that the apple, a significant object in the narrative, must have existed for at least three years, implying the time required for a fruit-bearing tree to mature.
This insight into the apple's timeline draws attention to the complexities of creation mythology. By emphasizing the apple's existence before humanity, Picoult invites readers to consider deeper themes of nature, existence, and the interconnectedness of life. The apple serves not only as a fruit but also as a symbol laden with meaning in the broader context of creation and human experiences.
