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.
