Planting & Care
To grow Bardsey Apple from seed, start by cold stratifying the seeds for 6-8 weeks to simulate winter conditions. Sow seeds indoors in a sterile seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, sunny location. Harden off young plants before moving them outdoors to a permanent spot with well-drained soil and full sun. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Apple trees benefit from annual pruning to maintain shape and encourage fruiting.
