Step-by-Step Guide to Growing an Apple Tree from Seed

Growing an apple tree from seed is a rewarding project that teaches patience and care. Although seed-grown trees may not produce fruit identical to the parent, they can still become healthy, beautiful trees that bear delicious apples after several years. To start, collect seeds from a healthy apple and rinse them to remove any residue. Keep in mind that apple seeds are genetically unique, so the fruit may taste different. It can take six to ten years before your tree produces its first apples. Some seedlings yield excellent fruit, while others do not. Many commercial orchards use grafted trees for predictable results and faster yields. However, planting from seed is inexpensive, educational, and fun for any fruit-garden enthusiast.
