In this documentary, we follow the apple from a single spring blossom to one of the most surprising rooms in modern farming. Close to ninety million tons of apples are grown around the world every year — and the United States alone was expected to harvest around 11.7 billion pounds in a recent season, with Washington State growing about two out of every three.
