I’m missing the passage — which story or quote is this from? Can you paste the bit about the apple tree or tell me the book/chapter?
Without the text, the safest general inference is this: Merlin used the apple-tree example to teach a principle about growth and consequence — that things (people, knowledge, character, kingdoms) develop slowly and predictably if given the right conditions and care. In other words, he was illustrating patience, cause-and-effect (tending leads to fruit), and how small, steady actions produce large results.
