"The fruit that falls from the tree " there is a saying in English ,-"The fruit does not fall far from the tree" meaning-the child will not stray too far from home. - ray76, Mar 18, 2015
The saying also means that the child is a lot like the parent, either in looks or in actions. The son, who likes fishing, of a father, who likes fishing, "doesn't fall far from the tree" (the father). - Winkfish, Mar 18, 2015
