Growing Apple Trees From Seeds - 18 Months Old
Рет қаралды 15,550
Күн бұрынHere's the third update for 2017 to my Apple Trees grown from seeds series from seeds out of store bought Gala Apples! They are now 18 months old as they were sown on 1/1/16. Since the last update, they have really fattened up their trunks, added some height and produced more foliage.
Two of them had their lower few inches of their trunks gnawed at by rabbits but they seem to be OK. I just fertilized them a few weeks ago so it appears as though they are responding well to that.
I don't plan on pruning them at all this year until January next year when I start to shape the canopies.
I plan on keeping you all updated on their progress at least monthly over the 2017 growing season!
Here is the entire series from episode 1:
• Apple Trees from Seed
I hope you are enjoying the journey along with me!

Hi Rob I have planted a store bought apple seed called lemonade apple it was just an apple i brought from our local supermarket to have for lunch i kept the seeds and potted them up and when they were a suitable height i planted them in my garden i was told by many a gardener that it proberly wont fruit but 5 years to the day i have apples on my tree i am so so happy i know i could have bought an apple tree from a nursery an it proberly would have beared fruit quicker but what the hey it cost 50 cents compared to $50 its inspired me to try other fruits love your work keep it up

nice apple! I found some wild apple trees growing on the side of the road in the mountains on the truckee river near the California Nevada border, one had very nice yellow apples and I collected them and grew the seeds, I planted them all over the yard.

First tree you showed I would air-layer it from where the bites are and basically start it over because it looks like the bark is all gone around the bottom which later in it life will be weaker and have a better chance of falling over breaking where that damage is. just a suggestion.

GeeSee's Life Adventures great suggestion. I'll look into doing it right and think about giving it a go. Thanks gain!

Katie Houck Thanks Katie. I have read and watched a lot about them, but not a lot of info out there for growing from seeds. I feel that I'm doing ok so far but if you have any recommendations, then I'd love to hear about them.

I just wonder about soil & watering the plant and temperature I live in Saudi and it's super hot like 120 F/ 45 C will it survive?
@RobBackyardGardenerr 7 жыл бұрын
natheer911 it likely would survive but won't likely produce fruit... do you get a cold season?
@natheer911 7 жыл бұрын
Rob Backyard Gardenerr of course we have winter temperatures drop to likely 10-5 C
@RobBackyardGardenerr 7 жыл бұрын
natheer911 I meant to ask how cold is your cold season. They should do ok there. The heat will require lots of water and some shade during the summer.

Rob what ratio of soap to water do you use as an insecticide?
@RobBackyardGardenerr 7 жыл бұрын
FoShoScience I mix 1 Tbsp of liquid soap for every 1/4 gallon of water. You can also add 1 tsp of Neem oil for that as well.

If I were you, I would do some research on how to repair cambium in trees. I had the same issue with my apple tree(our chickens ate a ring completely around it-girdling the tree) so I looked up if a tree could survive like that, and doubted it would, in the brutal Texas heat. I made about 3 bridge grafts to the tree, and by the next year, you couldn't even see where the repair was made. It soon grew to a heavy producing tree, with no health problems. Here is a website detailing how to make the repair: www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/how-to-fix-girdled-trees.htm
