Planting & Care

Apple seeds benefit from cold stratification before sowing to improve germination. Place seeds in a moist medium such as damp paper towel or peat moss, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for several weeks. After stratification, sow seeds indoors in pots filled with a well-drained seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright light once seedlings emerge.

When seedlings are large enough and weather permits, transplant them into a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish. Apple trees grown from seed may take several years to bear fruit and will not be identical to the parent variety, which is part of the fun of growing heirloom seeds.
