I just planted a few crabapple trees. How long til one makes apples?

Question

I just planted three seeds from a crabapple. How long will it take til it makes apples. What should I do to suit its needs? Would MiracleGrow make it produce apples quicker?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

probably about 8-9 years depending on your winters. if it is temperate with moderate winters and the leaves last longer on the trees, it will have a longer growing season and grow a bit faster.

the apples dont tast very good though and many times the animals get it before you do. and if you do get them they are half ripe on the gound half eaten, but some people do like the nature it brings and also the look of the actual tree

Answer 2

From seed, a minimum of 7 years, and probably more like 10 years
