IT'S A LONG PROCESS... BUT WELL WORTH THE REWARD!
If you’re not one to back away from a challenge, then growing your own apples from seed might be just the project for you.
While growing the fruit from the seeds of a store-bought apple is certainly possible, it can take several years and lots of love and care. Challenge accepted? Here’s everything you need to know to get growing!
GETTING STARTED
The first thing to know is that although you might have collected seeds from your favourite Pink Lady apples, it doesn’t mean that Pink Lady apples will grow in your garden. This is because most apple seeds need to be pollinated by another apple tree to produce fruit. Each apple seed contains genes from two different apple varieties. Bees, insects and the wind all play an essential role in transferring pollen from one plant to another. For these reasons, it’s a good idea to plant two apple seedlings to pollinate each other and produce fruit.
CARE GUIDE
CLIMATE Apple trees prefer temperate climates.
ASPECT They like a position with full sun.
