As a "teachable moment" with my little kids, I we put some seeds from some
apples we ate in a planter. Now, 6 weeks later, some appear to have

It may depend on the winter ahead of you. Plants in planters tend to
experience much colder winter temps than those in the ground. And planters
tend to be either over- or underwatered. Which is a long way of saying
look first for yourself next spring, if you think the kids will be badly
disappointed if they apple seedlings didn't make it.
