Why should it be surprising? All the human genetics are from just two 
people.

How is it possible that most of apple genetics are from two trees?

"And here is the most amazing thing yet:  These apple trees are the
source of all apples in the world!  The results of a genetic
sequencing of the trees by researchers* show that the apple forests of
Kazakhstan are without a doubt the birthplace of the apple.  In fact,
at this point, it looks like 90% of the world's apples are descendants
of just two trees."
