Question Yard Trees as Play Gyms?

Question, we have apple trees, that I would love to bring in for Mesa & Verde to play on/chew on. However, we have only owned the house two years. I have zero clue if the last owner used any pesticides on it. I suspect she didn't do anything, the trees were let go and crazy bad and not cared for in years per our Arborist, when we got it.
How far back do you have to have history b/f you can safely use it?

I know that apple is safe. The question I am asking is about pesticides, and the duration of which they are present if they were ever applied to a tree.

If you've been in the house two years and the trees were neglected when you purchased, I wuold assume they are safe and go ahead and use them.
