What if I just bury an apple?

[samljer]

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.

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.)

The video subject was how to grow apple seeds so sorry that is not possible so should have not made a video on it! Thanks!

[YolandaVanveen]

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.

I am just going to throw some seeds into my backyard and ill make a video of how they grow just to show you dont need to wait for 2 months and crap

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

[drugrocker]

@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.. ;-)

@samljer

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.
