How to Grow an Apple Tree from a Seed

February 11, 2009 4 comments

Step One: (February 11, 2009) Plant your seeds in a pot or, in my case, a windowsill box. I am doing this because I want to make sure they have a strong beginning before winter gets here again in December.

Gather your Pot, Soil and seeds.

Fill your pot with soil. Poke holes into the soil and drop in one seed for each plant you are trying to grow. Plant more than you expect to put into pots. If they all come up, you will pick the strongest plants to move into separate pots or into the ground.

Place your planting box on your window sill and water with a couple of glasses of water. Make sure you water the plants every couple of days or so. You don’t want the soil to dry out, but you dont want the water sitting in the drainage tray.

Still Waiting. March 27, 2009 – It has been nearly 2 months. I know that tree seeds take a while to germinate, i just don’t know if these are going grow or not. If they don’t I will try again. Please come back and check often.

May 18, 2009 – The seeds I planted never germinated. One of the comments I got said to put them in a wet papertowel and stick them in the fridge. I think I am going to try that next.
