A few weeks ago I planted 2 apple seeds i found in the fridge for fun. I passed by and saw this small sproutling popup.


Is this the apple seed i planted? Im not quite sure, but the skin partially covering the top looks like the seed's skin layer.

If it is, was is the possibility of it actually growing to be a tree.

Not that I expect to grow a red delicious apple tree that will grow in 6 years, but im just curious.

I didn't know that apple seeds would sprout !
I'm gonna try it too !
I wonder if orange seeds would?

It looks like i have a second sprout!



This one came up right after the second one, so thats 2/3 seeds i planted that came up.

After a while, the first one started to grow its first leaves.
(one of the seed leaves were damaged can it survive?)



However, the leaves of the second one were already there!



One thing i noticed was the color of the leaves were different. They must be two different species from the same apple!

However, the seedlings turns out to be less the a foot close. I've read that is not good for trees to be too close together. I was thinking of digging and replanting one of them, or is it neccessary?

Planting seeds from the tree can give you different results, it's a genetic thing.(just like having your children). This is because most trees are grafted on different stock.
