Go for it. We planted peach trees that grew from seeds and really enjoyed
the fruit it produced. We also have a Fuji apple that was grown from seed
planted in our yard, and the wife has started seven more New Zealand rose
apple trees. No idea what we will get, but we are willing to try.

How productive were American folk legend John Chapman's trees?

I planted a apple seed about 6 months ago, and I have a little tree

It's about a foot and a half tall. I have it in a pot on a window sill
right
now. However the only growth on the tree is up. It is not branching
out at
all, just some leaves on the trunk of the tree. Is this normal?

Yes, for a first year seedling. What are you planning to do with the
tree?
Remember, it may not give fruit that is worth anything.

Ah, but they're like a fireworks show when they're in bloom, fruit or not.

First year trees regardless of type will look like twigs. You won't see a
real crown until about the fourth year.
