Meme is counter intuitive; throwing the fruit means spreading the idea, not getting rid of it, but that's not how most people would instinctively see it (probably because of the obvious parallel to the "scroll of truth" meme).

No, dummy. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is a proverb meaning that children often inherit the characteristics, traits, or behaviors of their parents. The tree throwing the apple away is the tree "disowning" the apple; it doesn't want to be associated with it.
