Does anyone know the origin of the saying, "The nuts don't fall far from the tree"?

Thanks!

I thought it was: the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. But I couldn't find it in any of my references. So far.

And I have the apple falling not far from the tree. Gravity seems to be working well throughout the arboretum.
