my favorite fruit is an apple.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The apple tree (\"Malus pumila\", commonly and erroneously called \"Malus domestica\") is a deciduous tree in the rose family best known for its sweet, pomaceous fruit, the apple. It is cultivated worldwide as a fruit tree, and is the most widely grown species in the genus \"Malus\". The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, \"Malus sieversii\", is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe, and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including Norse, Greek and European Christian traditions. Apple trees are large if grown from seed. Generally apple cultivars are propagated by grafting onto rootstocks, which control the size of the resulting tree. There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples, resulting in a range of desired characteristics. Different cultivars are bred for various tastes and uses, including cooking, eating raw and cider production. Trees and fruit are prone to a number of fungal, bacterial and pest problems, which can be controlled by a number of organic and non-organic means. In 2010, the fruit's genome was sequenced as part of research on disease control and selective breeding in apple production.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "my favorite fruit is the apple.  the apple tree is a deciduous tree in the rose family best known for its sweet fruit."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I have heard that about apples, that its in the rose family, does that mean the same family as the flower roses?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "NO! silly.. it is cultivated worldwide as a fruit tree, and is the most widely grown species in the genus \"malus\""}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh okay, haha.
