Default apple trees from seed

Thank you! the link was very informative and have it
saved. My seeds grew so fast at first I thought them
weeds or sunflowers. But they're apple. Six years is
a long time but it'll be worth the wait.

Six years is way too long on a maybe. Go to a local nursery and buy
some fruit trees (they don't cost much), you'll have apples by the
second year.


My semi-dwarf apple trees were bought by a local nursery as were my
semi-dwarf cherries trees. I'm hoping to have some fruit next year on
both.

The seeds I planted and actually grew (not a natural green thumber)
were all from decades old trees....at least 50 years old or older. They
just don't make em like this any more and I'm old enough to know
that....so since they're growing anyway, I'll just wait and see what
happens.

Who knows....maybe nothing. But it's worth the try.
