Apples contain a few seeds, each of which will grow a tree with different genetic properties. No one seed is alike.
So I started a dozen or so seedlings from store-bought apples, to see what will come of them. I don't know that they can produce here, in our semi-tropical climate, due to our low number of hours of winter chilling (when temperatures are below 45ºF). Only certain varieties of apple trees can produce here for that reason.
But if this fascinates you like it does me, I will be posting regular progress reports and photos, as the trees grow and develop.
