Gravity does pull a balloon towards the ground.

If the balloon happens to be filled with something lighter (less dense) than the surrounding medium, the gravitational attraction may not be successful at overcoming the density difference.

Does gravity affect a hot air balloon?

Yes. Without gravity, a hot air balloon would rise infinitely. You could never return to the ground. Balloons tend to hover more or less. The force of the air pushing up on the balloon and the force of gravity pulling down on the balloon are usually very close to one another. This keeps the balloon at a steady height, unless you heat the air in the balloon, or let it cool.

Which force is responsible when a ripe fruit falls from a tree?

Of course, the gravitational pull of the earth is the prime factor here. The apple is being pulled to the centre of the earth, but in most cases is blocked by something .Example, the ground. Gravity is pulling everything toward it, but depending on how heavy it is determines how much force that gravity has over the object. For example: Gravity has more control over a car than a helium balloon, because the heavier the object, the more gravitational pull it conducts.
