You don't need a tennis court unless you're getting serious. I used to play cricket with apples[0]. As a kid I always had more fun from freeform play than from rules.

(Also strken wrote "throw" so I think they were thinking of a game of catch).

You're being surprisingly overly specific with those tree links.

The wikipedia link is for the apple tree genus. The word generic literally comes from the word genus, i.e. they couldn't be less specific when talking about apples.

In fairness, my other link was to a Google street view image of (possibly) the actual trees from which the apples fell in c. 1993.
