I agree that you wont get as good of an apple from a tree from a seed, but
they can still be canned, used as applesauce, and cooked in pies or
cobblers.

I have two in my yard started from seeds, a Fuji and a New Zealand rose. We
did it as an experiment, and both are not 7 to 8 feet tall. They wont
produce for another year or two.

These will be standard size apple trees, so don't expect fruit for several
more years.
Have lot's of sugar on hand for these spitters.

We also have a golden delicious and a Fuji
ordered from a catalog.

Your kids will love them, and I am glad Johnny Appleseed didn't have the
attitude that some of us have about starting trees from seeds. You cant do
worse than he did.

Sure can. Waste your time and efforts. Imagine kids growing up and tasting
these awful fruits and telling their parents "what were you thinking about
when you
planted this?".

My wife sowed some apple seeds from a grocery store apple, which
germinated just fine. Would these things do ok in the Mid-Atlantic
region? This was more of an experiment for our young kids, but I am
wondering if these things are viable here.

Thanks.
