After stratification, sow seeds indoors in pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the soil 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 and are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden after the last frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil for planting. Water young trees regularly to help them establish a strong root system. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune as needed to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Apple trees benefit from cross-pollination, so planting another apple variety nearby can improve fruit set. With patience and care, your Berner Rosen apple trees will grow into productive and beautiful additions to your home orchard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Berner Rosen Apple Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824637116726,"sku":"FOLIA2-833","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7072219261_tdr2.jpg?v=1793003794","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-berner-rosen-apple-seeds-swiss-heirloom-sweet-aromatic-fruit","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
