Growing an Apple Tree from Seeds | Fruit trees from Seeds - Yes, It’s Easy, but should you do it?

Growing your own apple tree using seeds from a good store bought apple seems like a good idea, but using this propagation method has its problems. In this video, the Pros and Cons of different methods of fruit tree propagation are covered in detail, including why using seeds might not give you the results you wish.

If you decide to do it and are not happy with the fruit quality, you can always change the variety using the grafting methods mentioned in the video.

"bad idea" according to the thumbnail. But does he mention the special traits that the apple family has? Or that america used to have more than 2500 species of apples? Every apple seed produces a completely new apple from the tree that it came from. In 1792 the Ohio Company of Associates madea deal with settlers willing to form a perminent homestead beyond ohio's first perminent settlement would be granted 100 acres. But to keep it they had to prove it was a perminent homestead by planting 50 apple trees and 20 peach trees. And so america had 2500 apple varieties, because each seed makes a new fruit. And when you're colonizing the wilderness and raising your food, you ain't got time to be grafting. Some of these apple varieties were so good that they were sought world wide. It could be the best apple you've ever had, or the worst. You never know what you could get.

Absolutely the best video I've found on starting fruit trees from seed. No one else has shown the fruit of trees they started from seed.

I farm and educate in Korea, but every time I see it, it's amazing and wonderful.

You are a champion JSacadura for producing this video at this time.
Last year I followed your previous video on growing apples trees from seeds and have a lovely looking 1metre high tree growing happily in a pot but I don't fancy waiting 7 years for some very small fruit. So, I'm going to let it grow until next spring and graft on a scion of the correct variety that I want and hopefully shorten my wait for nice crisp juicy apples by 3 - 4 years. Love your videos - keep them coming. Peter from northern New Zealand.

I’m glad I watched this because I was planning to start some fruit trees from seeds...Thanks

I'm air-layering my dying apple tree and seeing if I can grow a branch into another tree. Good to hear your voice! I'm about to taste my first fig any day now... left one on my 1 year old tree :)

Fantastic video. The fact that it can be used as rootstock is actually quite useful information. That gives me enough of a push to try, since all may not be lost in the end. I can’t wait to check out your other videos on grafting!

[tarfap.kpamber]

Your video is very informative, with nice visual representation and suitable commentary on various aspects of growing apple trees. I have a few grafted trees myself, interspersed with some wild ones for pollination of the latter. However, I'm growing mine in a tropical climate in Nigeria.
Thank you for the video.

Good morning from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Wednesday, November 20, 2019

I planted my own apple 🍎 seeds yesterday and there all ready up🌱🌱🌿🌾✨👱‍♂️👍👍👍👍👍👍

[dannyneves]

Excellent video with detailed information that simplifies why grafting is the way to go. Thank-You

[tazwowe]

Wow, just an enthusiast!?!
I would have though you were a commercial grower. Thank you for a professional and informative video (s) ... I think I watched 3 or 4 tonight😄.
We have many wild apple trees around, but where would I get get the scions of specific varieties? (North America).
Again, well done, and thank you

[JacobSimpson]

I did it. They were store bought apples. They were easy to grow but they never did much. But they probably would make great rootstocks for other apple trees that will produce fruit. I think sprouted seeds from store apples won't do much because they are crossbred trees so they will just go back to one of their ancestors like a crabapple or something that produces smaller fruit. To have bigger and better tasting apples they are going to be crossbred.
Great video!

[GardenTronics]

Wow! Great video filled with lots of useful apple propagating information! Thank you! 👍🏼🌿🌿😊💕Now I need a rootstock and a scion.

[healthyrootsstrongwings]

Thanks for the incredibly informative video! My family and I have found a small property in Alentejo and bought fruit trees from the market to plant this week.

Seeing this kind of magic and sorcery though makes us want to create our own grafted trees!

We are so motivated thanks to your video´s. Where in Porugal are you located?

muito obrigado e boa noite :)

[jenniferspring]

This was a great video, thank you. I also like the strategy that Miracle Farms in Quebec is using. They’re planting their orchard out from seed to produce strong root stock, and then grafting but leaving some original branches to see if anything special does produce, but assuring themselves of a good harvest through the graft. Best of both worlds as they say!

I am currently growing like 30 apple seedlings. They're around 9-10 months old. If I hit the jackpot then I'll get some decent apples, if not then at least I'll have some place to stay in shade.

É u vídeo excelente e bem explicado parabéns aos criadores!!!
