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.
