Planting Sprouted Apple Seeds: From Water to Soil and Beyond

Immediate Transplanting

Once an apple seed sprouts in water, transplant immediately into a small pot with fertile potting soil to avoid transplant shock.

For future seeds, sow directly in sterile seed-starting mix (perlite/vermiculite) in cell packs. Higher germination and survival rates.

Apple trees from seed take years to fruit (10+ ft tall) and won't match the parent variety due to hybridization.
