Tree of Everything

In French some 'apples' are favored. Have privileges? The apples that are born and grow up in the ground are called: pommes de terre. The apples that are born and grow up in trees are called: pommes. Not pommes d'arbre!

Dutch has the same "deviation". Aardappelen (the ones that grow up in the ground) and appels. Not: boomappelen. 

Human language apparently likes simplicity. Apples-from-the-tree were first (in retrospect) and apples-from-the-ground came after 1492 from America. The newbies got as a bonus 'ground' added to their name.

Wondering: what did Eve (from Adam & Eve) eat? Ground or tree apples? In original language too? The Bible talks about "fruit from the tree of knowledge":

The phrase in Hebrew: טוֹב וָרָע, tov wa-raʿ, literally translates as "good and evil" and implies "everything." To be understood to mean a tree whose fruit imparts knowledge of everything, this phrase does not necessarily denote a moral concept of 'good and evil' (source: here). 

P.S. And the apple?  It is made up in Western Christian art. Kissing, 'Genesis Volume 1' (2004), page 193, quoting Lapide: "[T]he fruit of the tree in this passage has for almost 2,000 years been painted, sculpted and described as an apple. But the text speaks only of an undefined "fruit." How did we get to the apple, of all things, which was unknown in the Near East until a century ago? In Jerome's fifth-century Latin translation of the Bible, known as the Vulgate, the word for "evil," with which the snake's speech ends (Genesis 3:5), is malum. Malum can also mean apple, and so this false apple was projected back three lines, to end up ultimately in Eve's hands, where it never was in the first place."
