**** 20 Granny Smith Apple Seeds ****

Growing your own apples is well worth the effort since they are expensive to buy.

They have a wonderful combination of tart and sweet flavor to them, and take longer to become mealy than their red counterparts!

Growing instructions:

Apple seeds can be tricky to start, as on average, only 30% of your seeds will germinate.

1) wrap seeds in a damp paper towel and put into a sealed ziplock plastic bag and put into the refrigerator.
(Seeds take about a month to germinate, but check them ever few weeks and if needed moisten the paper towels again).

2) Seeds will be ready to plant when you see white sprouts coming out the pointy end. Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep in a pot filled with compost.

3) In order to ensure your trees will produce apples they must be grafted. Wait until your apple trees are about 1-2 feet high before you do this.

There are many different methods of grafting apple trees but the "Whip and Tongue" graft is thought to work best.

A) Get a piece of wood (Scion wood) from the variety of apple you want.

B) Next, cut down at an angle on wood.

C) Then make an identical cut on the apple tree.
Next, cut downwards on the sliced wood. Do this on both tree and scion wood (the stick at the top).

D) Then push together and wrap with cling wrap and then masking tape.


Granny Smith Apples are best grown in zones 5-9.

Happy Planting!
