I Tried Growing An Apple Orchard In My Backyard

[@joshuahoyer1279]

The nice thing is that, even if apples grow that you don't like, or if no apples grow at all, you will have a solid rootstock in place. You can graft whatever variety you DO like onto it in the end, which will save you multiple years trying to do it again.

You can't convince me that grafting isn't magic

[@joshuahoyer1279]

@@walterl322 it certainly is! And one that I have yet to master so far. But I'm gonna keep trying!

[@growithjessie]

AGREED

[@growithjessie]

agreeeeeee!

[@stardustfactory8311]

Every fruit journey is so full of surprises and new roads 😊 so exciting

[@growithjessie]

THANK YOU SO MCH

I've attempted to grow apples for almost a year now, but haven't gotten them over the seedling phase. However, seeing you try inspired me a week or so ago and now have 4 seedlings in soil! Every time I eat an apple, I search for already sprouting seeds to germinate 😂

[@rainbowvisionart8025]

Hey from 🇬🇧 UK Unfortunately it takes 7-10 years for an apple tree to grow from seed to flourishing apples to potentially eat. But fun to do nevertheless Could you maybe do another vlog on how the plants are doing? Thanks

[@cortneyp.1564]

This couldn't have been better timing. I am currently trying to grow apples from seeds that sprouted in an apple I got last week. I have them in their little pots and I can't wait until they are bigger!!!

[@growithjessie]

THANK YOU! I love when timing aligns

[@zeideerskine3462]

You can try planting a living apple cottage leaving space for a door and weaving walls and window holes for making your very own living abode. You can also use willow for that but apples, pears, quinces, damson, plum, cherry and such work great.

[@ciaragarrity6425]

Something really cool I think I should share is that there are estimated to be thousands of varieties of apples that are lost to time. Trees of those ancient varieties are scattered across the United States, I wonder if that’s the same in Canada?

[@growithjessie]

I feel like the same is true

[@gracieshepardtothemax1743]

Wait. There’s apple trees with apples you cannot eat? How do we learn more about this? Interesting! Really enjoy your content! Keep up the awesomeness! Cheers from a chilly zone 3B

[@growithjessie]

thank you sooooo much

[@SRgacha]

The pink one is so cool

[@growithjessie]

isnt it!!

[@billyd7628]

some trees that do grow mostly true to seed are stone fruits like peaches and cherries.

[@growithjessie]

100%!!

If you're into apples look into the cosmic crisp, it is my understanding that they were developed here in Washington at Washington State University. theyre delicious.

[@HugoSanchez-w9i]

Red fleshed apples in Oregon that’s where I live😮

[@walterl322]

It's actually not just cross pollination, apples are a genetic mess, they have copies of all their genes and a genome that's more than twice as large as the human genome... all of this makes it impossible to predict what kind of fruit a seedling will bare...

[@growithjessie]

they truly are a genetic mess. but I wont believe it until I see it with my own eyes

[@officialrileyt]

It takes 4-5 years for apple trees to make fruits from seed, they grow slow just like any other tree

[@growithjessie]

agreed!!! it takes a long time

[@growithjessie]

i love this so much!!!

[@jonnyfelix5015]

Where did you get the grow box from ?

[@awsalyounes1611]

Try growing cactus fruits, i forgot their names and which plant , but it's very tasty

[@naranjo5277]

[@growithjessie]

I LOVE CACTUS FRUITS

[@spacehunter2018]

My apple seeds are sprouting a little, however its been 2 months and this is taking way too long. Also the clickbait was so funny 😂

[@growithjessie]

i love that!! that tends to be a common occurance with apples. they take a long time to grow and need a lot of sun

[@cynthia9]

Guess what I submerged an acorn in water for 2 days and it's already growing a tail! 🙂

[@growithjessie]

OMFG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@choasisgoated]

Cloudberries?

[@growithjessie]

i've never heard of those!

[@shannonhitchcock8189]

i like your vids. apple seeds won't grow the same apples because the trees are grafted together. also the g in ginko is pronounced like the g in get

[@growithjessie]

thank you so much

[@user-amecan_lover]

Can you grow a mandarin

[@Mlbbeditz210]

Update us soon

[@growithjessie]

ABSOLUTELY. YOU GOT IT

[@brandonwilliams1861]

"I grew an apple orchard!!!" (But not really)

[@growithjessie]

Haha it's on its way

[@mykstreja8648]

Planting a clipping in the ground to grow another plant is called "rooting", juar like how you place a clipping in a jar of water until it grows roots. Willow and forsythia are famous for doing this spontaneously. "Grafting" is where you surgically attach a limb from one variety of a tree onto another tree of the same family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting As you said, apples don't always grow true to seed, and the only way to assure propagation is by attaching a clipping from the preferred variety to a root stock of a hardy variety. P.S. It can take 8 years to get apples from seedlings.

The only thing that will grow is crab apples trust me on this
