We need part two! I’ve got lots of seedlings about 4” tall. Where do I go from now? Do I keep up potting this whole summer and plant them next spring? Great video, now we need more👍
Thank you so much! I put my seeds in the refrigerator for 5 weeks and they sprouted. Now I have them in a pot on the windowsill. They came up fast. Your video was so helpful in showing me what to do next. This is my first attempt to grow apple trees from seed. Cheers!
@@GrowWithKit Can I grow 20-year old seeds using your method? My parents had an old Victorian variety of apple tree in their garden and I saved some seeds but did not germinate them.
I had done this a different way, doing the 'seeding' separately, I like they way of this video better though. Will try this next year. I seeded and potted 4 , sometime in nov dec of 2022, one survived through to the final outdoor in-ground planting, it is about 9 or 10 inches./ 25cm tall now, and really looking good.
Great tutorial. I can't believe though @ 8:00 you would simply discard the smaller one that separated, I would go to great lengths to assure that it be given a chance. Apple trees amaze me, they seem like such an incredible gift.
I would like to share some experimental germination methods with you guys. I was trying to germinate some appleseeds and it seemd that only a few would germinate. I then took some more seeds and started trying some strategies out. And one seemd to work really well. I started peeling of the skin on the seed, then let it soak for about 24 hours, then i would put it in a wet paper towl with some cinnamon and in a 1-2 week period i would then switch between putting them in the fridge and freezer. Now a larger amount would sprout and when i saw the root beginning to emerge i would then place it in a dark location out of the fridge. Now ive got a larger success rate than before and it has worked on peach, apricots and other fruits.
You sound like sweet little boy I'm really into agriculture and I just love people who are technically not farmers but try to share that spirit of planting keep it up,/❤️😘
hey,this is a wierd way i grew apples. so what i did, i got the seed ,got kitchen towel and a plastic bag .damped the tissue and left in fridge for 2 weeks and i had big plants
Mine sat on my counter a few weeks. Then I did the wet towel in frig. and they've been there a few wks. No sprouts. We're they ruined left out? I also put 5 in the ground last Oct and covered with leaves. I won't know till spring.
Question 2; Now that I have one tree planted, in az (will be 120f 49c later this summer) I flood it about 3 times a day as it is already hot, do I need to add fertilizer or some kind of 'miracle grow' vitamin periodically? After about three weeks now in the ground it appears to be thriving.
Noob question, winter gardening/pre culture potentials, artificial lighting and such; How much temperature does general nonion greens typically need to start growing ? May just sunlight/ 5-6000K´s be enough in cases ?
Thank you for your interesting video. Did you ever try to prune the tap root up to 1/3 of its total lenght to try to grow them in a pot? I am currently experimenting with that and my trees seem to be fine, just a little bit smaller than the ones left unpruned. Cheers from Northern Spain.
QUESTION; What is the max time frame/window whereby I can pot a apple tree from seedling, and NOT plant it in the ground yet, but not interfere with its growth cycle so that it won't have it's size stunted due to being in a pot for too long? Is it a matter of using big enough pots, to accommodate the growth till planting? Is there a chart or rule of thumb to be sure we are giving it a large enough pot till actual in-ground planting?
I have 3 saplings that are 5 months old in individual pots. They seem healthy but they aren't growing very tall. At 5 months old mine are still the same height as yours are at 1 week, they have new leaves growing and seem healthy they just aren't going up and I'm not sure how to make them grow upwards. not sure if it is because I grew them through autumn and winter and that effected their growth. I didn't actually plan on growing apple trees, but the apple i was eating when i reached the core the seeds had all germinated so i thought I'd give it a go in houseplant potting soil.
Hi, it may well be the lack of light during winter months. Hopefully they’ll start growing faster as the weather improves. Good luck with your apple trees. Thanks for watching and commenting
Ive had this apple seed i grew from a red apple a year ago and its still small about 6 inches tall i dont know if im doing something wrong or it just grows like that beacause its a different variety
That’s great, good luck with them. I’ve only got 1 of those trees left now, gave the rest away but it’s doing well around 3ft tall no apples expected for another couple years.
Hello. I really love your video on how to grow an apple from seed. Some expert are saying apple grown from seed has to go through refregrator on paper towel but I see your method is different. So after the apple germinate, do we leave it in the shade where it can have indirect sunlight or what do we do to ensure the seedling are comfortable? Pls I need your advice. Thank you
Most of the ones you buy are refrigerated for long periods and they seem to germinate well anyway. They need as much light as possible really but not to hot, morning or evening sun but avoid full on sun if it’s hot. Hope that helps 🌱😊
@@GrowWithKit i addition to what he said, once your apple is 2years old, start applying calcium to it to stimulate fruition. You can get calcium from: 1. Ash (simply born woods to ashes. Preferably do not add kerosene. 2. Dental powder. Yes you heard me. Most dental powders sold in nigeria ( i guess you from Nigeria by your name, though cannot guarrantee you are based in Nigeria.) are just calcium. 3. If you are in Nigeria, go to those that sell chemicals for paint making and buy calcium. It is white and in powder. Most should be edible so nothing to fear.
Excellent video....I’ve got a ‘tree’ currently about three feet tall in a pot from a seed I planted six months or so again and have heaps of other seeds I’d like to plant and try; is it a good time to plant these now do you think?
I left them out, I’ve found they don’t really require a cold period especially if they are shop brought apples as they would have been kept refrigerated for some time before purchasing.
I have a greenhouse with other more tropical plants it’s very humid in there and has two large grow lights is it good idea to start letting my little tree grow in there or is it to bright humid? It’s a steady 72 at night and 75-77 day
Should I peel the skin off the seeds? I managed to grow a grapefruit seedling and its a few inches long. I just put the grapefruit seeds in soil and they sprouted all by themselves.
Wow so easy thank you! 🙏🏼 It’s frosty outside, is it ok to start germinating my seeds now if I keep them inside on windowsill or should I wait until spring?
I'm in Massachusetts I didn't try hard and I have about 10 inch apple trees in pots. They are doing great. But soon enough it will be very cold and snowing in a few months. I have no clue what to do with them? I don't have a greenhouse. Can I keep them in my house? Should I leave them on my porch? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
That’s fantastic well done, they’ll be fine outside they are fully hardy, if they are quite small put them somewhere a bit sheltered, porch is ideal, you’ll do more harm than good bringing them in the house, they need to go dormant over the winter.
Is it possible to get an update on your Apple trees? Iv just started growing my own from seed. Interested to know when the best time to plant them in the garden is 😊
I’ll try and get an update on soon, I only have a few left now as I gave most away but they are still in pots and could have been planted when they were well established.
I’m starting to grow my own and this is very helpful, but I have a question you know when they grow with the seed on top is it normal for the seed to fall off? Because that’s what happened to mine.
I’ve kept these in pots but you can basically plant them in the ground whenever you like, I would let them grow in the pots until they’re at least 1-2ft though just to make sure they don’t get eaten or swamped out with weeds.
No reply, so; I have one that I kept indoors in potting soil for about 3 months, then planted it outside 3 or 4 weeks ago, it is doing very well. All that I did while in the potting soil was keep it watered. My success though in going from pot to earth was just that 1 out of 4 that I'd started with, hard to tell why I had such bad luck. Good luck with yours, I think apple trees are awesome.
I normally use a pump spray bottle with water & few drops of washing up liquid, just blast them off. I try not to use chemicals but you can get bug sprays.
Something really bad happens and I have a question. Someone emptied my apple tree pit and I have been growing them for 5 months. The roots were there so I put it in the pot again. Will it stillbirth grow
Thanks. Some hot days here in Melbourne so I'll keep an eye on them - others are doing well - the pots the browning ones are in are broken and not keeping water well so will try transferring them today.
I have a second question the sprout was poking through the seed coat a tiny bit and then my brother kicked the ball at the pot accidentally and it fell so I put it back in covered with compost today will it grow again or is it already to late
It will depend on growing conditions but I’d say around 3 years from seed. You will need at least 2 trees as they are not self pollinating. Hope that helps.
I will like to know what is the best location to keep the seeds before they can germinate or sprout. I kept mine in a deep freezer and 3weeks now they are yet to germinate.
I’ve found you can just plant them straight away, most apples are kept in cold storage for some months before you buy them. They germinate very easily and quickly.
mine went brown at the stem soil level , the stems slowly all went brown and shrivelled up then the healthy leaves just died off was demoralizing to watch. as i understand it, its called damping off, when pathogens in the soil eat the stems/roots and kill the thing. i'm thinking my mistake was just taking random soil from the garden cos i didnt want to go out and buy potting compost. for my next attempt, i'm gonna try drying and baking the soil in the oven to kill off any germs before potting
Yea I’ve had this happen before too, don’t be disheartened. Try not to over water, under watering is actually better than overwatering. I hope you have better luck next time.
I have three apple plants, 4 months old, each one in a pot with potting mixture. One of them start to show dry brown flakey leaves at the middle of the plant, this sign distributed to the all leaves of it, at the end, the plant died. Now, the same signs showed in the other one, I’m worried to loose it. I use moisture meter for adequate moisture & avoid overwatering, what is happening to my apple plants?
Hi, sorry to hear that. They do drop their leaves in winter. I’m not sure on your environment where you are. I hope they get better. Thanks for watching 🌱🌱😊🌱🌱

I would like to share some experimental germination methods with you guys.
I was trying to germinate some appleseeds and it seemd that only a few would germinate.
I then took some more seeds and started trying some strategies out.
And one seemd to work really well.
I started peeling of the skin on the seed, then let it soak for about 24 hours, then i would put it in a wet paper towl with some cinnamon and in a 1-2 week period i would then switch between putting them in the fridge and freezer.
Now a larger amount would sprout and when i saw the root beginning to emerge i would then place it in a dark location out of the fridge.
Now ive got a larger success rate than before and it has worked on peach, apricots and other fruits.

Hi Islyn you will need to do the stratification process to grow them in Guyana.
Please l need some of the mature apple branch to graft to my apple seedlings
Should I peel the skin off the seeds? I managed to grow a grapefruit seedling and its a few inches long. I just put the grapefruit seeds in soil and they sprouted all by themselves.
No need to peel the skin, I peel orange and citrus seeds only to speed the germination but it’s not necessary. Thanks for watching.
Wow so easy thank you! 🙏🏼
It’s frosty outside, is it ok to start germinating my seeds now if I keep them inside on windowsill or should I wait until spring?
You can start them now and move them out when warmer or you can wait for spring.

Fantastic! So if it snows should I keep the snow off of them? Do I still water them? They are a foot high now! I appreciate your help.
Only water them if the soil is dry and don’t worry about snow. I basically ignore mine throughout winter.
I made a video how I am protecting my trees for winter
Great video. Very easy to follow these steps. Question: Will your apple trees grow in that big pot? Or will you transplant them to the field?
Thank you, I’ll keep them in pots for a few years until we have land to plant them.
@@GrowWithKit Do you mean sir that apple can stay in a flower pot for more than a year?
Yes they can stay in a pot or container for as long as you like, you will need to upgrade the pot as they grow and prune to keep them smaller.
@@GrowWithKit Wow awesome. And i must commend that this is the quickest response to questions i ever asked online
Mine its almost one and half meter .I planted it 5 years ago
can you mention what soils are use for seed plant?
I just used multi purpose compost, you can mix in some sand or grit to improve drainage if you want. Doesn’t matter too much.
Is it possible to get an update on your Apple trees? Iv just started growing my own from seed. Interested to know when the best time to plant them in the garden is 😊

@@GrowWithKit oh thank you so much!
SE lvlldbDYhdUdUduudIsuueueyeàovvb
do I top them when their young? mine is a foot tall
You don’t need to top them, once they are bigger you can prune to train into the shape/style you would like to grow.
@@GrowWithKit thank you
currently growing one ..by accident i flicked a seed into a pot and it started growing!
That’s awesome.
When do you plant in the grand
I’ve kept these in pots but you can basically plant them in the ground whenever you like, I would let them grow in the pots until they’re at least 1-2ft though just to make sure they don’t get eaten or swamped out with weeds.
Thank you for the video. Can you give us a one year update?
Hi Ken thanks, I’ll try and get an update soon, I think I only have 1 left.
Hey Great Video Im just Wondering How many times do i water them?
There no set number, it depends on the weather ect. Just water them when they start drying out.
that's Great...
thank you
Hi. How long did you keep these indoors? And did you feed them anything other than water? Thanks in advance
No reply, so;
I have one that I kept indoors in
potting soil for about 3 months,
then planted it outside 3 or 4 weeks
ago, it is doing very well. All that I did
while in the potting soil was keep it
watered. My success though in going
from pot to earth was just that 1 out
of 4 that I'd started with, hard to tell why
I had such bad luck. Good luck with yours,
I think apple trees are awesome.
My apples are eaten the roots what can I spray to avoid insecticide
I don’t know sorry.
Is it okay to keep it on my windowsill in the sprouting period before putting it into a bigger pot?
Yes that’s fine thanks for watching and commenting 😊
How many days does it take to germinat ?
Only a few days, some had already started germinating in the Apple.
😬 Help! My seedlings with leaves have BUGS! The bugs have brown bodies with clear wings. Two of my plants are dying! What should I use on the bugs?
I normally use a pump spray bottle with water & few drops of washing up liquid, just blast them off. I try not to use chemicals but you can get bug sprays.
Something really bad happens and I have a question. Someone emptied my apple tree pit and I have been growing them for 5 months. The roots were there so I put it in the pot again. Will it stillbirth grow
☹️ that’s a shame, you can try but if the stem is broken it probably won’t regrow.
@@GrowWithKit thank you for replying I'm gonna check out more of your vids 😃
My trees are about the same size as yours but the leaves are going brown pretty quick - too much heat/sun?

As long as it wasn’t damaged or dried out it should carry on growing.
@@GrowWithKit thx I'm new to the channel I subscribed
My daughter had an apple planted in the seed , and it's now sprouting, it's been 3 weeks and looking strong. Will it produce fruit in 3 years ?
That’s great, It’s hard to say exactly when they’ll produce, it could take upto 7yrs.
One question if you remove some of the compost to see how the seed is going will that kill it
Think we’ve all done that at some point, I’ve never had a problem.
@@GrowWithKit thanks for replying
Now that it's been two years, how are they?

@@GrowWithKit gorgeous! Black cats are the best! 😻😻
Wow wonderful, how many years does it take to start fruiting.
Thank you, I’m not sure but a fair few years probably.
@@GrowWithKit Come on Mr Grow with kit be specific I want to start growing apple.
It will depend on growing conditions but I’d say around 3 years from seed. You will need at least 2 trees as they are not self pollinating.
Hope that helps.
I will like to know what is the best location to keep the seeds before they can germinate or sprout. I kept mine in a deep freezer and 3weeks now they are yet to germinate.
I made a short video if you scroll down look for planted apple seeds in 8 days 5 already grew straight out of the fuji apple
I’ve found you can just plant them straight away, most apples are kept in cold storage for some months before you buy them. They germinate very easily and quickly.
That’s great well done 👍🏻
Luar biasa hebat om..

mine went brown at the stem soil level , the stems slowly all went brown and shrivelled up then the healthy leaves just died off was demoralizing to watch. as i understand it, its called damping off, when pathogens in the soil eat the stems/roots and kill the thing.
i'm thinking my mistake was just taking random soil from the garden cos i didnt want to go out and buy potting compost. for my next attempt, i'm gonna try drying and baking the soil in the oven to kill off any germs before potting
Yea I’ve had this happen before too, don’t be disheartened. Try not to over water, under watering is actually better than overwatering.
I hope you have better luck next time.
Question will my seed grow as fast as yours without covering
They should still germinate, I cover them to keep the humidity up so they don’t need watering as much.
Please am Felix from Ghana please can non-grafted apple bear fruit
What type of sand goes into the compost?
I use sharp sand but any should be fine. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Super Sir
Thank you 😊
How long would it take till the seed sprouts and I'm really sorry for bothering you with so much questions
I would say 2-5 days but it can vary.
For me 2 weeks
It will be interesting to know where you are? geography? and at what time of year did you do this.
I’m in Mid Wales UK. Spring would be the best time.
I have three apple plants, 4 months old, each one in a pot with potting mixture. One of them start to show dry brown flakey leaves at the middle of the plant, this sign distributed to the all leaves of it, at the end, the plant died. Now, the same signs showed in the other one, I’m worried to loose it. I use moisture meter for adequate moisture & avoid overwatering, what is happening to my apple plants?
Hi, sorry to hear that. They do drop their leaves in winter. I’m not sure on your environment where you are. I hope they get better.
Thanks for watching

I have 1 moth apple trees their leaf edges start to turn brown،،، how can l deal with that and care of them at this age ???
Is it winter where you are? It could also be low humidity or under/over watering. It’s really hard to say without knowing conditions ect.
