I was surprised to see that the apple seeds in my refrigerator have just started to sprout!!! They have only been in the frig. for 3 MOS.! Patience IS a virtue!

i took it off.. no one posted after that and i thought, "oh no.. i've killed another thread."

[what i said was, 'wavy appleseed... yes, that has a nice ring to it.']

And, Bana, I liked that comment...please don't remove your posts...they're all interesting and fun. We may not always comment, but we like all posts.

Ditto what mgt said!

Congrats on the sprouting seeds Wavy! In ten years you can harvest your own apples!! . Just kidding. Makes you feel good to see positive results from an experiment doesn't it.

Cool, I wish I could grow apples. There must be some variety that can take Florida mild winters and still produce.

Bana....just how many threads have you killed? I think you were set up! LOL! Innocent until proven guilty I say!

taking the 5th! but i want you on my jury.

Wavy congrats, how did you know to sprout the seeds in the refrigerator? I never heard of that method.

Zone9alady, Does your area of Florida have 200 - 300 hours of temps below 45 degrees? If it does you can grow apple trees that will produce fruit. You need to find low chill varieties in order for the fruit to form. Here's a link to Dave's Garden website with a guide for choosing apple varieties for Florida -

Thanks still tryin! Some years we have very cold winters but the last two have been pretty warm. It's the end of January and we haven't had a hard freeze yet! It looks like spring around here.

I always see young apple trees at Lowes or HD, so I hope they are selling appropriate varieties for this location, if not, people are just wasting their money.
