Apple seeds generally need approximately 60–90 days of cold stratification. Place them in a moist growing medium inside a refrigerator at around 34–41°F (1–5°C). This chilling period helps break seed dormancy and encourages germination.
Yes. Mixed Apple Seeds can produce trees with different fruit colors, sizes, flavors, and textures. Apple trees grown from seed are genetically variable and may not produce fruit identical to the parent varieties. Each seedling can develop its own characteristics.
Apple trees grown from seed commonly take around 6–10 years or longer to produce their first fruits. The time depends on genetics, climate, sunlight, and growing conditions. Seed-grown trees can also produce apples with unpredictable flavor and quality.
