Sow seeds indoors in pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix, about 1\/4 inch deep. 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 several sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting to a sunny location with well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoung apple trees require regular watering during their first few years to 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. While seed-grown apples may not produce fruit identical to the parent, they can still yield delicious fruit and serve as a beautiful ornamental tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Spigold Apple Seeds (Malus domestica 'Spigold').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795571343670,"sku":"FOLIA2-561","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7168737169_p7ap.jpg?v=1792671687","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-spigold-apple-seeds-heirloom-sweet-tart-malus-domestica","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
