Planting & Care
To grow Almata apple from seed, start by stratifying the seeds in a moist medium in the refrigerator for 60-90 days to simulate winter conditions. After stratification, sow seeds indoors in pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 70°F (21°C). Germination can take several weeks to a few months. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting to their permanent location in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system.
