How to turn an apple seed into a tree

To get a seedling from an apple seed, you must first awaken it to growth. If you just plant it in the ground, the sprout will not appear. Getting a seed to germinate is not at all difficult; it can be done even in an ordinary apartment.

What you will need:

• napkin;
  
• zip bag;
  
• peat tablet;
  
• priming;
  
• pot.

Apple seed germination process

To increase the chances of getting a seedling, you should prepare several seeds at once, collected from ripe apples of the variety you like.

They are wrapped in a dampened napkin or paper towel.


Then the envelope with the seeds is closed in a zip bag and placed in the refrigerator for stratification for 3 weeks under the freezer.


After 3 weeks, the apple seeds will germinate.

They must be carefully planted in peat or coconut seedling tablets.

The tablets themselves are placed in the soil in a pot and watered.

When the seedlings become stronger, they can be transplanted into open ground, preferably in late spring or autumn.
