Planting & Care
Apple seeds benefit from cold stratification before sowing to help break dormancy. After stratification, sow seeds in a well-drained seed-starting mix, covering lightly with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright light once germination begins. Seedlings can be potted up as they grow and later transplanted to a sunny, well-drained orchard site.
Young apple trees require regular watering during their first seasons and benefit from mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Because apples grown from seed may not come true to the parent variety, expect natural variation in fruit characteristics. With patience and proper care, these seedlings can develop into productive, long-lived trees.
