    What large island is known as "The Apple Isle"?

    Question #106532. Asked by BaronBatty. (Jun 22 09 11:22 PM)

    		Tasmania.

    "It is true that the island of Tasmania resembles an apple to some slight degree, but the real reason Tasmania became known as the 'Apple Isle' is because for many years, it was one of the world's major apple producers.

    Apples are still grown in large numbers, particularly in southern Tasmania, but modern agriculture is more diversified."
