Apple seeds?

Question

i have some apple seeds and i want to make the seed sprout roots before putting it in an pot of soil how would i do that

Answer 1

Apple seeds need to be started indoors. This can be done in one of two ways: you can place some apple seeds into a paper towel. Fold the paper towel over into a small square. Keep the paper towel wet, and place it in your refrigerator. Keep checking the seeds and keeping them moist. In a week or so, your apple seeds will sprout. They are now ready to plant outside. Or, you can use a Styrofoam cup filled with potting soil to start your seeds. Dig a shallow hole in the middle of the potting soil and plant the apple seeds there. Set the container on a sunny windowsill and keep the soil moistened. In a week or so, the apple seeds will sprout. They will then be ready to plant outside.

Growing apple trees from seeds will take upwards of ten years before your trees will produce a edible crop.

Answer 2

A method I have used for many years to germinate seed is the following:

First, take a paper towel and wet it under the faucet. Next take the wet towel and flatten it on a plate. Take the seeds and place them on the wet towel. Then take a second paper towel and wet it in the same fashion and place it flat over the seed and the first paper towel. Keep the towels damp at all times but drain off any excess water. When the seeds begin to germinate, plant them in potting soil until they take root and begin sprout above the soil. After some time you can then transfer them to bigger pots until they are ready to be planted outside.

I have found them starting to sprout right inside the apple one time. I put it in a good potting mix and with in days I had a nice sprout.  Be sure not to bury it to deep.
