James Prigioni: Grow an Apple Tree from Seed…



Did you know you can save the seeds from fruits you eat and plant them? Back in March 2013 I began planting apple seeds, and now I have a full grown apple tree that only took 4 years from seed to harvest.When growing an apple from seed you are more likely to get a variety that isn’t as good as the domesticated ones but you really never know what you will get, its like playing the apple lottery. I’m fortunate I got a good variety that I enjoy and a variety that I can truly call my own, no one else in the world has my particularly variety of apple, me and tuck are the only ones.We call it the Prigioni Apple!Roll the dice and plant some apple seeds, you never know what kind of fruit you will end up with. Maybe just maybe you will grow the variety that becomes the next Honeycrisp apple.Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

  1. I listened to u about his before and took them out of the fridge after 6 mos, dropped like 8 of em in a bucket 2mos ago….5 sprouted recently. im going to put 2 of the strongest in the yard near the back fence. (PHILLY AREA)

  2. Takes ten damn years before any fruit will grow from the tree. Oh, and many fruits don't grow 'true to seed'. That means the fruit the subsequent tree produces is likely to taste like ass.

  3. Thats not true, itll grow a crabapple tree, not an actual apple tree. Theyre spiky and grow poisonous fruit. Deer love them though.

  4. Since most of the progeny will not be as good as the parental line, is this the best way to grow apple tree? Or is this more of a fun experiment to have your unique apple?🍎

  5. Ne careful not to coy the othed guy, your transotions on rhos look almost exactly the same as the other guy used in his garden fast statt videos

  6. I’ve got 4 apple trees growing. They were started from a Pink Lady apple that I bought at the grocery store. In a couple of years I’ll plant them in our yard.

  7. Apple seeds are genetically diverse. You won’t know what type of apple you’re getting for about 5-10 years if you grow from seed. Commercial growers graft the variety they want to a hearty root stalk to ensure they are getting what they wanted.

  8. so many people in these comments gonna be coming back in 5 years saying "why are my apples so small and taste bad?" at least tell people theres a 9/10 chance its a barely edible crab apple that grows lmao

  9. Growing apples from seed is a great hobby if you have acres of land. I don't think it's ethically responsible to encourage people in the suburbs to grow fruit trees from seed. They can turn out horrible and then you've wasted two times as long as you could have on a grafted tree that is actually going to have good fruit. It's a great fun experiment if you have the room but I'm going for all grafted fruit.

  10. But what if the apple is from a grafted stock?
    Don't they just grow the host root stock and only produce the lesser fruit from the host tree, or even no apples at all.
    I've heard mixed information about this.
    Can anyone clarify, please? 🙏

  11. I put organic seeds in the soil and they have grown to about 3 inches already. Grow like helped ❤
