Apple tree in a garden – the grass radical on top is the fence and the component below is an apple tree with two apples 点 and 撇。

the character looks like an apple because the two strokes in the middle looks like seeds and the grass radical is like a stem.

The character is composed of a radical grass and 平 like 平常。So the pronunciation of 平 sounds similar to the one of this character. How I remember it is that apples often fall on the grass.

The grass part connects to “apple” because the apple tree would be in the garden surrounded by grass. The part below the grass radical is 平, same pronunciation as 苹.

memorizing it by picturing it as tree at the bottom and gras radical as a fruit at the top of the tree. So this character is a tree with a fruit on the top. And if you cut the apple in half, you usually see two seeds at the middle. So two dots inside the tree, seems like a half cutted apple. that you can think of it as an apple.

The grass radical reminds me of a plain. The bottom character has two apple seeds, over a tree-like symbol.

With grass radical we can see that apple is grown from trees. The tree grows from grass.
