Malus sieversii genome of the domestic apples is "Malus baccata", but there is no evidence for this in older apple cultivars. Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, and formerly its capital, derives its name from the Kazakh word for "apple" (Alma), and is often translated as "full of apples" (the region surrounding Almaty is home to forests of "Malus sieversii"); "alma" is also "apple" in other Turkic languages, as well as in Hungarian. The Soviet-era name, Alma-Ata, is Kazakh for "Father of Apples". These and other "Malus" species have been used in some recent breeding programmes to develop apples suitable for growing
Fruit of the poisonous tree Fruit of the poisonous tree Fruit of the poisonous tree is a legal metaphor in the United States used to describe evidence that is obtained illegally. The logic of the terminology is that if the source (the "tree") of the evidence or evidence itself is tainted, then anything gained (the "fruit") from it is tainted as well. The doctrine underlying the name was first described in "Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States", 251 U.S. 385 (1920). The term's first use was by Justice Felix Frankfurter in "Nardone v. United States" (1939). Such evidence is not generally admissible in court. For
