The reason I put it on the apple is that I'm definitely moving toward
a full graphical system and I don't want to see a graphic of a tree
full of apples telling me it has no more apples or pick your variation
on that theme such as an almost empty tree with only a few apples
left). It also allows easy handling of the "apple is out of reach"
scenario and variations.

I use the stnadard nested prompts I posted on before.

Exactly.
