    You’re energy is so pure. I can tell how proud you are of these trees and how excited it makes you to talk about them. The energy reminds me of how I would feel gardening when I was a kid. My grandpa taught me and I stopped when he died. Seeing your passion about these plants has reminded me of why I loved gardening in the first place. The feeling of pride from making something from nearly nothing. Maybe I will get back into it.

      you should definitely get back into it! and apples are not the only seeds you can grow from the grocery store. You can do any citrus seed lemon, oranges (Valencia is a good seed variety), etc, papayas, pomegranates, watermelon etc. but most of the exotic ones have to be grown indoors in pots over winters in most areas. Also if you want an instant plant. twist (do not cut) the top off of a pineapple. Peel the bottom leaves and you will see on the resulting stump little roots. Plant the stump directly into potting soil, keep moist and in a few weeks you can tug the base and it won't come out easily anymore as the roots come down,
      good luck and have fun!

    I love this man's passion, you can tell he really loves to grow things. To plant an apple seed and wait years all the while not knowing what you'll end up with isn't something most people would do. All the time and care that goes into it and you might end up with something inedible or cook-able, is something only a truly passionate person would do. Wish I could smash the like button twice.

    I start my fruit trees in cups, and I agree, with the ratio. I plant 25 for 5. I LIKE finding out what comes out. I planted 25 'honey crisp' seeds, not knowing what would come up really. Of those, we now have 4 trees and they each grow rather different apples. One is darn near identical the the apple it came out of. One is less sweet, but every bit as juicy. One has small apples that are VERY sweet, but they are the size of tennis balls. My kid LOVES those ones. The last makes great baking apples, but not so great for raw, because its kinda grainy and less sweet. They are all out of honey crisps from the same orchard in Yakima washington. We are in washington state and have our own farm and orchard with currently 14 apple trees, 5 plums (plus 3 'gone wild' GOLDEN heritage plums that we can't even identify! but are AMAZINGLY tasty), 5 pears, 4 cherries (more comming) and we HAD 8 fig trees... till the elk ate them down to a bare stick.

    Love your philosophy. My 5 year old came home from daycare with an apple seed he wanted to plant. I told him the chances of dropping it into the ground would not likely result in a tree, but that it is always fun to try and see what happens. This was in early March. Sure enough now in August we have a nice strong stalk about 7 inches with about 10 small leaves on it. We had a close call last month when we checked the stalk as saw that something had eaten the top two inches. We built a small protection cage around it and now it has grown another 4 inches with many new leaves. He is so excited. I watched this video in hopes to find how to protect our very little delicate sapling from the coming winter (We are in Michigan an hour North of Detroit). Any advice would be great.

      Just bury the avacado seed. The whole toothpick bs is useless and you'll lose it to mold or rot more easily than just planting it in soil. I half bury them, then once they sprout, I cover them with soil. Make sure to top it, meaning cut off the one branch once it gets to a foot or so high, so it creates branches off to the side

      I believe that apple seeds can germinate without going through stratification. I suppose If you plant an apple seedling in April, come spring it might not bloom. Also the apple tree-let is not prepared to defend against cold and freezing temperatures.

    I stumble across one of your videos at the begining of 2020 and love your food forest, Tuck, and your passion for growing. I am in my first year of creating my food forest all due to your influence.
    I wanted to mention on the subject of why your trees produced apples so fast. I learned a trick on mango trees that probably is in the same relm of your idea about pruning. The guy would tap on his tree with a hammer slightly. Any stressed damage will trigger reproduction to carry on the plant's main objective.
    So far in my first year I have sourced and planted;
    1 FLORDAKING PEACH TREE
    1 BROWN TURKEY FIG TREE
    1 FUYU PERSIMMON TREE
    1 SURUGA PERSIMMON TREE
    2 CATAWBA GRAPE VINES
    1 BRIGHTWELL BLUEBERRY BUSH {planted close to my fence by my neighbor's blueberry bushes}
    Already planted when I got this place ;
    2 GIGANTIC MUSCADINE VINES
    {I'm not sure what to do with those vines. They are several decades old and are 40 to 50 ft up in trees and under brush "big Azaleas''. I plan to do a long term video on them and try to get some of it on an arbor after I cut into the under brush or maybe try to clone it.}
    1 LEMON FIG TREE but not in my food forest area
    (it belonged to my grandfather, then my father, then me. its more than 30 years old. the trunk at ground level is about 8'' to 10'' in diameter. )
    1 PECAN TREE but not in my food forest area
    (my father messed up when he cut down the 2nd tree, hasn't produced since)
    MULTIPLE HUCKLEBERRY BUSHES REDS & BLUES
    (several of which are in my outer edge of my food forest via bird planting at the base of a huge pine tree.}
    I planted these after buying them from a local owned grocery store about 6 years ago, before I really got into growing again. but not in my food forest area ;
    3 UNKNOWN TYPE BLUEBERRY BUSHES
    they were planted wrong and not watered for years. they were only about 3 ft tall this year, but turned into 11 bushes clumped closely together. I have been watering, mulched around them, and lightly fertilized them with an acidic fertilizer. New growth after their fruit set is amazing. Those fruited in late may/early june.
    I look forward to each year and hope when I am called to heaven that my food forest will bless the generation after me.
    JAMES, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOING!! Sharing links to your older videos works.

    When you can prune heavy ( the plant is strong enough to handle it ) leaving 1/3 of the plant, it will make a plant want to reproduce, let's face it we all want to leave a legacy go on and on - and a plants way to reproduce is seed. That's why when you pruned your plant hard your tree wanted to make sure it lived on and you got fruit. I use my yard for vegetables, berries and grapes. All my trees are in pots. I love your video I did learn something from it .

      If you live in an area with heavy clay soil it probably will not do well. Sometimes you may get one to grow if you have good soil and have enough chill hours in the winter. Also many apple varieties need pollinators. If you live in south Texas you may want to get one that is recommended for your growing zone first and try growing seed in addition to that because no commercial varieties like our low chill winters.
