How do you germinate apple seeds?

Question

- cold environment
- moisture
-ect.

Answer 1

All you need to do is plant them in the ground. It is best to plant them about 1" deep in a small prepared bed, and then select the best couple of seedlings for transplant. Keep in mind that the apples that you may eventually get from the tree may not be the same kind as the apple from which the tree was planted. At a certain point in the trees growth, grafts are grafted onto the tree that will produce the apple species that you desire. A Yahoo search for "apple tree propagation" (include the quotation marks in the Yahoo search box) will yield lots of interesting and useful websites.

Good luck with your apple trees.

Answer 2

I germinated some red Delicious trees just this year.
My seeds were placed in a lightly moist or damp (not dripping) paper towel, then I placed them into a economy sized peanut butter jar (clean of course) & sealed it back up. I then placed the jar of seeds up on top of my cabinettes, close to the ceiling. I live in a trailor,it was in early March, so it was still cold outside. I kept my house around 75 degrees (+/-), you should check on your seeds periodicaly to make sure they are not dry ( they are sealed so they should take care of there self for the most part. Other than that, be patient and use FRESH & HEALTHY SEEDS (mine came right out of the apple I was eating. My trees are 5 ft. tall now.

Answer 3

not sure if this will help but last time I did plant seeds for apples I froze them for a few days first then planted in small containers and put in the cellar until they started to come and then put inside of house. I often freeze seeds I collect until I am ready to plant for things such as grass seed I plant late in winter when ground is still frozen and like to plant when get a light dusting snow this way the seeds get all the benefits of the early thaw and rains, no birds eat the seeds buried by the snow and thaws will allow seeds to sink into soil.
