the only time I was successful at growing apples was when I bit into an apple, thought I saw worms but they were actually roots, ended up planting 6 rooting seeds, now I have 6, 5 year old trees growing in my backyard, started producing fruit 4 th year in.
Too funny! on my how to grow apple trees video I tell people to start from seedlings and not seeds so get-
"This clip should be called "i tell you to buy a tree from a garden centre".
alot grown from seed will turn out good i'm told, and are stronger than grafted varieties, since on their own roots. or you could graft onto the seedlings from sown apple seed. grafting is easy! refrigerating seeds isnt absolutely essential, mine sprouted without refrigertion (takes two weeks to sprout.)
You are right..I did get the info off of the web. An apple will start from a seed of any apple but you don't know what you will get.. Starting from a seedling is the best choice.
Apples do not grow reliably true from seed. In order to produce a particular variety of apple, for example Cortland or Jonathan, you have to graft some wood from an existing tree of known heritage on to a root stock.
Sowing pip (apple seed) you might get lucky and have a new variety of value, that's how we got all our apple varieties originally, but it's risky. Better to buy a tree from a nursery or learn how to graft.,
I have bought sour green apples from walmart and almost all of the seeds were already germinated inside the apple. One of them already had the cotyledon showing
@Shaer01 explaining the alternatives are lengthy and complex, and can be found on the internet with some search. My point was only to inform the problems of this video so someone didn't wait years to find out the result of sprouting these seeds will most certainly yeild disappointing results.
This is very inaccurate. samljer's comments above are true. Yolanda, you should remove this video. You may be a flower expert but I am a commercial apple grower and this doesn't work as you video suggests.
I was told that if theapple was pollinated by another variety then the seedling apple will not be the same as the apple it came from. Johnny Appleseed gave people seeds, and 90% of them were fit only for use in cider.
This is 100% true, in fact she recommends using your favorite variety tells me shes actually clueless and has never grown apple.
your NOT going to get apples from what you took your seed from, between using different stocks, to cross pollination in commercial variety, the chances are less then 1% for that to happen.
Even for cider the sugar count is probably going to be poor in the tasteless result.
to truly grow apples please visit a nursery and buy a seedling.
I agree, Apple seedlings aren't true to their parents, meaning that if the fruit was sweet, the seeds could make sour apples. This lady doesn't know much about gardening, she just says BS or wikis the info like 1 minute before she does a video, and often she forgets or says the info wrongly.
@samljer i think you mean "to truly BUY an apple seedling please visit your nursery."
of course , growing an apple seed for a rootstock, and then grafting on a branch from a local tasty apple tree is a more interesting, DIY & cost free option too.. ;-)
Also worth mentioning that different seeds of the same apple will likely give a small varied result in the final fruit in the different trees you get if pollin from different trees polinated the same flower "they have more then one pupili i think they are called"

What if I bury an apple? I have a few apples which look disgusting and i could bury them......so would that still work? Thanks =D

This is not good. For one you can get wolly aphids since the plants are not resistant. Rather get a rootstock and graph.
Also there is a low chance you will get the same apple cultivar from the seed.

While it's true you can grow an apple tree from seeds, it will NOT be the same as the parent tree. That can ONLY be done through grafting.

islandfireballkill 1 year ago
@Thycid
will work, but you have a much longer wait. much much longer
you have to wait for all traces of the apple to decompose as there is a
chemical in apple juice to inhibit the growth of seeds.
forget the name, but im sure google will tell u if ur interested enough.

Well, it worked for me. I got a approx. 1:7 success ratio. Success because I got the seed for free!

junior420909 1 year ago
@junior420909
actually common knowledge dictates that the chance of that happening
is like 1:100,000,000 seeds.
un-strained random polinated "commercial" apples never turn out a good
tree. you may have a better chance if u splice branchs onto a rootstock
still wont happen.
so i bet it wasnt. go do ur research before u make comments on
something u clearly know nothing about kthx
