Author Garden: Apple Tree Sproutling? IcyGarden Gardener Member # 9268 posted                       A few weeks ago I planted 2 apple seeds i found in the fridge for fun. I passed by and saw this small sproutling popup. Is this the apple seed i planted? Im not quite sure, but the skin partially covering the top looks like the seed's skin layer. If it is, was is the possibility of it actually growing to be a tree. Not that I expect to grow a red delicious apple tree that will grow in 6 years, but im just curious.

It looks like it is the sprout of an apple tree! If you are going to let it grow be sure to protect it REALLY well in the winter! If you can do it so can I! I have been looking at 3 year old trees here and they want $75! EACH!! * * * * ~Heidi Plants: 415 | From: Maine | Registered: Apr 2006  |  Seeded: 70.105.250.168 Deborah L. Garden Pro!

I said, "Sure, why not," never dreaming something would come of it. Guess what? Three of the four seed sprouted and now we have three baby apple trees. Now she wants to dig them up and take them home for replanting. You guess it. I said, "Sure, why not." So, I guess we'll see.

This one came up right after the second one, so thats 2/3 seeds i planted that came up. After a while, the first one started to grow its first leaves. (one of the seed leaves were damaged can it survive?) However, the leaves of the second one were already there! One thing i noticed was the color of the leaves were different. They must be two different species from the same apple! However, the seedlings turns out to be less the a foot close. I've read that is not good for trees to be too close together. I was thinking of digging and replanting one of them, or is it neccessary?

When I was little I planted a lemon seed, never grew. Then once I planted a Cherry seed, never grew. Interesting to know. Making me what to try again, since this maybe the right time. Who knows! Good photos! * * * * A Sunflower Garden #7 Check out my website. Plants: 530 | From: Stockton, California, Zone 9 | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 67.182.68.233 tamara Garden Pro!

This is because most trees are grafted on different stock. * * * * Tamara's Photos Thinking Spring, Thinking Spring...Nope, doesn't work.lol Plants: 3763 | From: NB Canada | Registered: Jun 2003  |  Seeded: 198.164.219.109
