Question

Where does the root pop up from the apricot seed?

Answer 1

It comes out the pointy end of the seed.

Note that there is a hard shell around the seed (the pit) which has to break before it will sprout.

Sometimes you find ones that broke in the fruit. Those are easier to get to grow. Otherwise you need to crack it without hurting the seed, or saw a little notch in the pit and soak it.

Or you can plant it outside and let winter freeze and thaw do the work for you.
