“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”, but most apple seeds don’t grow where they are dropped - they are carried away by birds or rodents and seed elsewhere. Also, most apples aren’t true to seed anyway - plants grown from seed don’t bear the same fruit

Ummm, it says the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, not the seeds don’t fall far from the tree.
Yeah but the phrase refers to children who were raised by the parents, not the ones who got eaten by large birds and shat out in distant lands, which of course happens far more often than we’d like to think.
You’re not wrong about seeds. The saying doesn’t mention, refer to, imply anything about, or have anything to do with seeds, though.
