Growing Apple Trees From Seeds - Now at 28 Months!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

28 months and counting - curious to see how those fruit sets develop! Thanks for watching!

[@JM-kb5pm]

Wow rob those apples are looking amazing 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎

[@demcomp]

I had tried growing apples from see, but when the tree went dormant 2 years in it never woke up and died.. Definitely have to try it again... Your trees are doing amazing! Keep up the great work Rob!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Sally Jackson I thinned then down to 1-3 apples per cluster, except the one with 5. I only removed the runt. I may take one more off. Thanks again Sally!

[@SlendyMane]

Another win! I can't stand it when people say you won't get fruit from seeds. You can. It may not be the same, but it can happen. They're true mood killers lol

[@Skitdora2010]

Lack of pollinators and poor soil could prevent flowering and fruit and then there are required chill hours. Even grafted shipova are said to take over a decade before they fruit. Some people report things fruiting after 20 years, grapefruit for instance, grown from seed. Best self-declared experts are those with no experience and next best have limited.

Very nice, Rob. Even if they're crab apples it's still cool how well they're doing and fruit that fast is even more impressive.

[@katkinslow]

Yes Rob it looks normal at this early in season. If your soil is healthy you will see those fruits mature and enlarge throughout the summer. I wish you all the best!

[@calebproductions5970]

Rob, that is a killer pool.👍

[@SkillCult]

Very cool, I'll look forward to seeing the results! The twin tower thing can be a problem. Those tight crotches will trap bark between the two trunks which can cause splitting and failure later in the life of the tree.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

SkillCult I know. I've been contemplating cutting one off for a few years... I'm just scared that it'll die if I do it when it's young.

[@SkillCult]

It's actually safer for the tree to do it when it's young. The smaller cut will heal faster. There shouldn't be any other issue with removing growth when the tree is young. They are evolved to withstand a lot of munching by browsing animals and to be able to bounce back.

Hi, from what I researched, apple buds will form into 5 blossoms, and from there it is best to thin the blossoms down to two in order to provide better future crops. I do recommend pruning your trees when you get the chance. I recommend a pyramid shape as it will open the branches to allow sunlight and air for the next spring. I dwarfed my apple tree since I am short. Also, get rid of any branches low to the ground as it will attract unwanted pets to munch on. Good luck!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

whytedaises thanks for the tips. I appreciate it! Happy gardening!

[@nikhitha2723]

In which month the apple flowers blooming

[@juliosdiy3206]

Nice trees man that one by the fence is going to be a very good apple tree when it fruit. I think it will fruit next year very positive.

[@ScottMaday]

Hey rob, I was wondering if you’ll ever get a blueberry plant or do a blueberry from seed series. I think it would be really cool to see! The only problem might be your Texas summer heat and getting acidic soil.

[@johnlord8337]

Time to grow blueberries and hibiscus homeyberries - yum.

[@channuoibocau215]

Hello! please let me know if you cut the bark for flowering? can you tell me how to make the fruit quickly, thank you very much.

[@HariiBTV]

i hope i can grow my 12 apples seedlings into trees just like yours. at the moment they are set on bottle planters... but they are growing well . hope to see great success on your experiments :)

[@NguyetNguyen-bp4nq]

Hi can I ask you a question? I have an apple tree just 8 months old should I put them outside in my ground?and what kind of fertilizer you use for the apple ? Thankyou!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Yes and I use just a tree stake once a year.

[@NguyetNguyen-bp4nq]

Thankyou ☺️

[@samiam159007]

Hmm, looks like you may have some granny smith apples. They'll likely stay pretty green. They should get larger, but will likely not get full size this year. We'll see if my predictions come true. You should be able to eat them once fall comes nonetheless.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Tyrell Samuels I'm super excited to see what they do. I am curious if they'll stay green though. I agree about size. The tree is too small to produce regular sized fruit for sure. Either way, I hope they taste great.

[@senensoberano847]

How about using espaliering technique?

[@Peaceluv001]

Nice update...Hoping for regular 🍎🍏

[@15minsago81]

Where is this? I’ve always wanted to grow fruit but I live in Alaska and it’s too cold

[@kanizfatema6342]

plz tell me which apples are easy to grow??

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

ALL of them, it just depends on your zone.

[@evalynnpalmer1293]

My crabapple tree is flowering 4 years

[@ahmadnazly9366]

How to get three produce fruit after 4 year... what fertilizer

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

ahmad nazly I used both a mixture of blood and bone meal. Every 3 months.

[@jicirob]

I have questions about my tree but don't think comments is the place for them. Need advice

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

jicirob1 You can ask me on my FB Page. It's in the description.

[@melchormontero5803]

very nice..

[@Borneo871]

Thanks infomation.😊

[@ranasaeed2029]

Rob sir i have apple tree but my aria whether is very hoot .this one not good growing. But your apple tree is very good.i follow you.thanks sir

[@jim8577]

They will be regular apples the pollen only affects the seeds

[@jim8577]

You should think about grafting if they are not very good.

[@kristanstrickland444]

Im a little confused as to if the term crab apple means a nonedible apple or if its an actual variety. Im from Newfoundland, Canada and our crab apples are alot larger than the ones you've shown, mostly green and very much edible.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Kristan Strickland yeah. I'm using at a term for inedible - small and bitter. Most crab apples here in Texas are red, small and bitter but great for pollinating.

[@pemchhokisherpa8933]

In my garden apple tree is not giving fruit but flowers but why?

[@xeonome1]

What happened to your apple and pear trees???

[@ahmadnazly9366]

Wow... i like it...

[@steveday4797]

The tree looks fantastic but many a tree grown from seed turn out awful apples, hopefully you'll get lucky & produce a gem

[@beckycory9023]

With as much love you have for trees, I believe it's time to get a small farm. Your yard is beautiful, but you're running out of room. Lol.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Becky Cory it's been on my mind for months now Becky. Hopefully soon! Would love to have a food forest!
