Grow an Apple Tree from Seed...

Did you know you can save the seeds from fruits you eat and plant them? Back in March 2013 I began planting apple seeds, and now I have a full grown apple tree that only took 4 years from seed to harvest.When growing an apple from seed you are more likely to get a variety that isn’t as good as the domesticated ones but you really never know what you will get, its like playing the apple lottery. I’m fortunate I got a good variety that I enjoy and a variety that I can truly call my own, no one else in the world has my particularly variety of apple, me and tuck are the only ones.We call it the Prigioni Apple!Roll the dice and plant some apple seeds, you never know what kind of fruit you will end up with. Maybe just maybe you will grow the variety that becomes the next Honeycrisp apple.Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

I already have a few small ones growing. No matter what apples it will produce one day, it is a lot of fun.

Bro really said "before you know it" like it doesnt take like 10 years for the tree to give apples.

Apple seeds are genetically diverse. You won’t know what type of apple you’re getting for about 5-10 years if you grow from seed. Commercial growers graft the variety they want to a hearty root stalk to ensure they are getting what they wanted.

And before you know it, you’ll have a rootstock to graft actual apple variety scions to…

1 year ago I ate an apple with 3 sprouted seeds inside now I have 2 tall young trees

[lisakruger]

I did that with peach pits and have 3 lil peach trees growing in paper cups right now. I agree, it will be a LONG time before I ever see any peaches from them, but it fun to see them grow! :)

Didn't know that. Now I know why people put seeds in the fridge. Thanks.

Hey gotta love a crab apple tree tutorial

We did that 17 years ago. We got 2 trees that survived. One is a crab apple tree. The other one just finally produced a few apples last fall. The were good, but i don't know what kind.

I’ve got 4 apple trees growing. They were started from a Pink Lady apple that I bought at the grocery store. In a couple of years I’ll plant them in our yard.

I listened to u about his before and took them out of the fridge after 6 mos, dropped like 8 of em in a bucket 2mos ago....5 sprouted recently. im going to put 2 of the strongest in the yard near the back fence. (PHILLY AREA)

so many people in these comments gonna be coming back in 5 years saying "why are my apples so small and taste bad?" at least tell people theres a 9/10 chance its a barely edible crab apple that grows lmao

I have two peach trees from a big old tree I had for about 30 yrs. Poor tree is done from age and just not doing well. It used to put out the old times Jersey peaches that were about as sweet as you could get. Glad I got its babies going. It takes at least five yrs to get them going good. I’m south of where you are in Jersey.

For anyone who wants to try this i would suggest going to a pick your own place and take apples from rows that are next to other types. Should be a cross between the two. Commercial growers use crab apples to pollinate because they produce a lot of pollen. So most likely it would be a cross of what ever apple you had and a crab apple. Also save all the seeds and pick the biggest ones to use

[stephenremo]

If they have been refrigerated in shipping or in your fridge for 3 weeks it could be long enough..
I've seen them sprout in the apple after 3 weeks in my fridge..
When i say sprout i mean just a little white tail

[mimster]

I put organic seeds in the soil and they have grown to about 3 inches already. Grow like helped ❤

[jesusflores]

you left out the most important step. GET A CUTTING FROM A KNOWN VARIETY AND GRAFT IT ON YOUR ROOTSTOCK SEEDLING! otherwise you'll be waiting years only to find out your apple tree produces not so good tiny deformed apples.

[lauralong]

I ordered apple trees from Raintree Nursery because you said you had purchased from them and were happy with the trees you received. Trees are expensive so we all need good investments.

You can speed up the process of getting fruits from any tree by planting it in very bad mud. Give little sand and clay. Let it root and once it's leaves are at least 1inch above the ground give it very dirty stinky smelly water every single day(I change my ducks water every day so I use that) and in a few months itl start giving fruit flowers. May not get any fruits bcus it's small but it'll start it's flowering process early. Then plant it outside

I got my custard apple, sour soup to start fruiting in 6months by doing this.
