This is a tropical country so don’t expect to see an apple tree, an apple sapling or even an apple seedling. Just a stroke of luck that I am holding in my hand a pot with an apple seedling courtesy of my niece. It was a challenge to her to grow an apple from the seed and she was successful. So now she passed on the challenge to me that I have to grow the seedling into a sapling. Is it possible?
With the few leaves of the apple seedling that can give me hope, perseverance and prayer could do the trick. After 1 year last Christmas of 2019, the apple seedling is now an apple sapling that is 5 feet tall but with a thin stem. I congratulate myself for the feat of having an apple sapling in this tropical country which is a certified rarity. And to make it bear fruits, that’s a mighty big challenge.

Have you planted an apple from the seed?

Yes

No

no idea on the planting

if you nurture it and talk encouragingly to it I think it just might continue growing. Back in my garden in Latvia, I had five apple trees planted by the previous owners.
No, I haven’t planted it. I hope, it will grow to greet tree and you will share the final result of your apple plant.
I have never done that before. Good luck with it and it is a real challenge.
