To stratify, place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a sealed bag and refrigerate for several weeks, then sow indoors in a seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright light once seedlings emerge. Transplant young trees outdoors after the last frost when they are large enough to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil for best growth. Water regularly during establishment and mulch around the base to conserve moisture. Note that apples grown from seed may not produce fruit identical to the parent variety, and trees typically take several years to mature and bear fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 25 Santana apple seeds (\u003cem\u003eMalus domestica\u003c\/em\u003e) for garden and orchard planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795574522166,"sku":"FOLIA2-570","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7166516019_3evd.jpg?v=1792671711","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-santana-apple-seeds-malus-domestica-low-allergen-crisp-apple-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
