I grew a bunch of apple trees from seeds I found sprouting inside pink lady apples. So far 3 have borne fruit, 2 are full size apples but one attracts lots of insects and the fruit are covered in bug bites, the other is right next to it and had no insect damage and the fruit was hard/crisp with a wonderful complex flavor, very sweet but tart and some pleasant spicy flavors. The third made really bright red crabapples that were kind of bitter but I'm ok with leaving them for the birds to eat in winter. I tried some nectarine pits and got 1 tree, it makes a hard green fruit that never seems to ripen, they stay green and hard. A peach tree volunteered out of our compost and makes very good peaches now that I've moved it to a better location.
Oooh i would love to see those apples in a big bowl on my kitchen counter! I love fruit that is snack size! You should totally market that apple. I could see it take off kind of like those mandarins called"Cuties".
Growth from seed it takes a lot of time, but worth it.
His intro startled awake my dog who was sleeping next to me 😂
awesome video James. I am an amateur rose hybridizer. Working with nature to produce a better thing than you started with is so extremely exciting. I grow Honeycrisp and Fuji apples. Right now I have more Fuji's since the Honeycrisps are now done. Thank you for your channel. You and Big Tuck keep it up. Have a great winter.
My daughter (4) and I love your videos. We are planning on planting a Jonagold apple tree soon, thanks and much love.
Your enthusiasm is wonderful! I would love to have a plot of dirt to experiment with. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
If you are limited on garden space, check out "Robbie and Gary gardening" on UA-cam. Robbie plants in containers. She shows you how to make your own dirt (compost in place). She grows in totes and buckets.
I'm going full steam ahead with my gardening! I started last July, and am going to be planting citrus trees and apple trees from seed, with the intention of grafting known scions onto them. I'll leave a natural branch, to know what the seed produced, but I will get fruit from the scions first, I expect. I'm so excited!
Blessings to all!
I had a lime shrub grown from seed in my mom's garden when I was a student, it produced fruit just one season, but the limes were very acidic and dry, I seriously wanted it to produce juicy super acidic limes and I had prepared the soil and compost for the next season, but it was killed 😐.
I will have to grow another lime shrub in my house after watching this haha.
All I can say is “ perfect “ nothing like a small sweet apple not too much just enough. You have inspired me to be patient and wait for my perfect little apples that I will try to grow from seed as well thank you
I wish apple will grow in Philippines😅
I never tasted and seen a crispy green apple yet, first time on this video. Mostly in the market is like cotton🤣
Great introduction of the Prigioni Apple. It's a crap shoot when growing apple seeds and you've done a great job explaining not only the time and risks involved but also the enjoyment when success happens.
Yes, congratulations on your Prigioni apple! I can’t wait to hear your plans for it, and to see how the other trees develop
Will you be trying the Prigioni apple in different ways? It might be a good baking apple, or good for sauce, juice, or cider - I’d love to see updates as you try it different ways!
Hi James, I share your enthusiasm, yes, Christmas came early for me, , my 11 year old apple tree grown from seed actually has three the first three flowers ever, Unexpected, I saw a bumble bee on the tree and on close inspection there was a flower.
I planted sevral seeds ten years ago some have fruited nicely but a couple flowered for the first time this year
But the blossoms froze so i need to wait another year
Its rewarding wait and you can always use your seetree for grafting stock
I really want to try that
Just purchased my first 3 blueberry plants, going to grow them in my apartment and baby them until i buy a home and can plant my own food forreest. Thank you for who you are.
I've decided to do the same thing. I know it will not produce good apples for eating but I am hoping for good cider apples. After reading about all the different cider apples out there I noticed most of them weren't much different than the crabapples I find growing in an abandoned field or hedgerow out in the country. I've always been told that they make the best hard cider. I'll find out in a couple of years.
Thanks so much for the update about your apple trees from seeds. I have 2 I am growing since 1 year. I am just impressed that I got them through the winter in Tahoe. They both look strong. I hope for the best.
what i noticed in my garden is that a lot of the smaller, runts of the batch of seeds (vegetables and fruits) i grow almost always have a sweeter, or more intense flavor. But i used to feel down and out when i saw how small they turned out until i tasted them.
The tiny apple is fabulous!
I grew a mango tree from a seed. 23 years later I got my first crop of mangos. They are large and sweet and just a little fibrous. It came from a Hayden tree.
I'm just now starting to germanate some apple, and lemon seeds!
I hope they do welll...
Let's Gooo! I hope they grow well and produce well for you ❤️
This may be stupid, but space permitting, you could hand-pollinate Prigioni One with your Bella on dwarf, and then take the seeds from that crossing, grow them on to seedlings, and graft them on your dwarf (or optionally, space permitting again, wait until the seedlings produce, and then graft the good ones onto your dwarf).
Great explainer on seeds that don't grow true - that's applicable to many, many kinds of commercial food seeds.
That's so cool! I've always loved the idea of doing this, just seeing what you'd get, but I'm not currently in the space to do it. I so appreciate living vicariously through your experience. Thanks for sharing! Do apple flavors mature as the plant does? Probably not?
I am growing from seed for a few reasons, one being that I can select for a tree that grows best in a specific spot. I am looking for a tree that tolerates black walnut and that's not a characteristic that's been selected for with commercial root stocks. If you don't like the fruit, you can always graft on something that you want or keep it as an ornamental and pollinator. There will be a lot of variety in the seed grown trees, so it's fun to see what comes up. You can also use the trees to improve your grafting and pruning skills.
I found wild apple tree in the meadow and the apples are amazing.
People complain fruit takes years to grow from seed but my dwarf apples planted in 2015 are close to 12 feet tall and yet to flower. Were supposed to fruit in 2-3 years. Only my quince tree put in fruited timely so far and a mulberry. Apple trees did come with the house, they did not spread babies on their own but are full size trees (like the mother Bramley in England dying now from honey fungus- absolutely monstrously large). The deer, cotton tail rabbits, and artic hares eat young trees if not protected.
Thanks for Sharing! I always plant my Apple seeds to see if they ever develop into apple trees. I plant them on Forest Service Land 🍎 🌳 🍎 🌳 🍏
Liked 👍. Shared on MeWe 👍. Shared on Facebook 👍. Saved on UA-cam 👍.
I wish more garden people had this mind set !!! Your a legend! Granted I only had this same mind set beacuse there was no photo period cannabis available that would finish in my area before I got to work 😅
Awesome video, how about air layering a couple high branches so you could share some of your namesake trees?
I'm learning so much from your videos great info
Tuck is soooo cute! 🙂
Thank you James
Let's go!!!
Let's Gooo Anastasia!! ❤️
I have grew a apple tree with a yellow and red apple seed it turned out a red and yellow with orange in the middle and tastes like both in the middle two seeds became one seed!
Which nursey do you suggest for fruting trees?
How do you keep the squirrels off of your fruit trees?
I want a mini apple tree aweee it’s so cute
Hahahah 😂 always with a was up and high energy vibes very 😎
Bless your knowledge
You inspire! Thank you for your enthusiasm. Do you spray your fruit trees? If so, what do you use? I've tried concentrated garlic with mixed results.
I'd love to have some Prigioni apples..wonder how it tastes...😊
Brilliant video
I wonder what would hapen if he took a seed from his Pregioni apple and grew it into a tree. I wonder what the fruit would be like 🤔
Thanks for the info
The little bby apples 🍎
My granny smith apple grown from seed bear a tiny fruits like the size of a cherry.
a tree of any kind isn't a waste to grow. now you have root stalk to graft onto, organic matter to chip up and spread around your garden or make dry chips to smoke meat with or fire wood and if you don't cut it completely down it will give years of benefits with new growth annually. I have 2 apple tree's that grew in my compost. one has tiny apples the other has about walnut size apples and the squirrels love them, free food is awesome to have because they eat me out of house and home buying them dry roasted peanuts during the winter. lol yes I spoiled them. but they are worth it they planted me 3 English walnut tree's and this year the first one they planted has a walnut on it. just one, it's only 3 or 4 years old and growing in the shade of a huge poplar tree. plus the squirrels warn the birds at the feeders when the sparrow hawks come around. they are worth the food they eat so i don't mind sharing the volunteer apples. the birds planted the black berries we all enjoy and 4 mulberry trees. what i miss is my rabbit he would prune all the old canes in the raspberry patch by eating them and always left the new growth alone and now i have to cut them. Mr Snookum's was a master gardener, who knew how helpful a rabbit could be in the garden. plus the fertilizer distributed is a bonus and it wont burn your plants. Got to love nature and how masterfully it all works together.
BEAUTIFULL
The Prigioni apple ,,,,,,,,,, now that’s gotta nice ring.Since you yearly trim the top portion of the tree,will you ever consider parting with any scion wood,especially for your followers?
Bare root decease resistant dwarf tree for zone 9 😄ok got it !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
Your own apple seeds. I live in Florida. I would love some.
Hi James...do all apples have to cross pollinate? If so what does the Prigioni cross pollinate with? How does that work...is the flavor always the same? It looks lovely.
Love your channel. I planted a couple of trees from cortland seeds from an organic orchard, will my apples be cortland?
Would you not get a better fruit by thinning them out?
Thx 🇺🇸🐻✌🏻
I have 4 apple trees i just got this year. They put out fruit this year but are small. Will they start getting bigger as years go by? Should I take them off so the tree grows
Do you spray your apple trees? We haven't and we lost so much useful fruit.
We're do you recommend getting a apple with good genetics and good selection of types I live in evansville indiana
i wish i could ask some scions of your apple variety
do you have any honey bees?
Is there anyway to get a cutting of that tree?
I planted apple seeds in wild areas. Better that than no food at all
So if you plant a Appleseed each with have their own phenotype?
Amazing 🖤🥀
Hey James do U grow lemons. I know u have oranges but my Meyer lemon isn’t growing in ny. Thx.
Does your apple have seeds. I would plant them so your breeding apples that are more suited for your climate. 😂 i planted my own grown apple, no fruit yet.😊
Are you from Jersey, the island?
I've tried several times but none of my seedlings ever survive the winter--zone 5b.
What no seed sales?
Where do u live ? I have to come and take seeds or plant cutting
How do I become a member?
Living in LA from the time I was conceived from 1989, I have always planted the seeds of my apples. None of them ever make it past sapling stage. Potted, drained, in the ground, water much, water little, direct sunlight, indirect. It doesn't matter. They'll never make it.
Tuck didn't get any apples. If he is like my dogs, he likes them. Does He?
I don't understand how you can take a seed or even one bare root tree and have apples grow. Don't the flowers need to be fertilized by another tree to make fruit?
Xoxo.
💙
This like strawberry apple..
James, I sent you a message on Facebook that you might get a kick out of.
Are you going to 'branch out' to any uncensored platforms? I want to leave UA-cam as I don't want to support those not supporting freedom ♡ I'd like to follow you to new platforms ♡
Can you send me some by chance?
Can l get a seed ppppllllllsssss
Omg tiny apples....
Well done ☆☆☆☆☆
I have a few seeded apple trees 18 mo.
Gardening teaches patience
My seeds picked me... lol
Had a few apples that had seeds sprout inside them , l discovered while eating them.
Being a green thumb - this was such a gift from nature they had to.be planted 💚 .
G'day from Australia - Melbourne
💯❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏
I have been growing fruit trees from seed for about 10 years. The first one was a wild plum that tasted wonderful. It came true from seed. Then I tried some granny smith seeds. Only one survived. The trunk is pretty knarly, but like you, my apples were small, sweet and pretty. I originally thought I'd graft another variety onto it, but now I think I'll make cider. The peach pits I planted grew great, but I was never able to get any to eat because they all got brown rot every year. I did, however, graft a Suncrest peach scion to a plum rootstock and it was the best peach I've ever eaten. The original variety is one that is not available in the stores because it is soft and won't ship well. If you want a particular variety, I suggest buying rootstock (they're cheap) and going to a scion exchange. In CA, we have the Rare Fruit Growers Association and they have annual exchanges where, for $5, you can get as many scions as you want and they have both rare fruit varieties and more commercial ones and they will teach you how to graft.

That’s great. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, thanks for the info!
Pretty dope! Thanks for the idea!
Let’s go! I grew a lemon tree from seed. This is amazing! 💕💕💕
Let's Gooo!!! OOOhhh that's a great one! A Meyer lemon?
@@jamesprigioni yes it is! Be blessed! 💕
I found a wild apple tree next to an old one in my horse pasture. It must me a seedling. And I´m so happy! It fruited so early as a tiny tiny tree and the apples taste just as good as the ones from the mother tree. Only a bit smaller. Like a normal size apple. I feel so lucky.
I am too jealous !
I bet the smaller apples on that tree would work to your advantage for making apple butter. They likely won’t store well since they are small, but they’d be easy to process through a food mill.
Apple Cider and you can freeze Apple Cider for a long time too.
I've had a couple of times when I've bought apples and found pips inside already sprouting. I think this is an effect of having been in cold storage for some time and then being brought out, in both cases they were Pink Lady from Chile, (I'm in Great Britain) and they could have been a year after harvest. I planted those pips and had some grow on, none of them have flowered or fruited yet.
It takes a few years, but well worth waiting for. 🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏
Actually it usually takes a few years, but sometimes more then that. Absolutely worth waiting for, you might have a brand new variety and that can be exciting. Maybe even worth some good money, who knows.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 it's more likely to be a waste of time and energy... a plot of land you tied up for years and the fruit all turns out to be worthless. The trees themselves are still good for the land/soil in general regardless, so that's something.
It depends how much land you have, I guess. I don't have enough to set a bunch aside for a lot of trees and just hope for the best in five or ten years.
Not trying to be a downer, just being realistic. Growing apples from seed isn't for everyone.
even if the fruit is a bust, the wood is apparently good burning, and good smoking for meat and cheese
@@dogslobbergardens6606 There are different types of apples you know, some best for fresh eating which most people want, some for baking and some for cider. If you get all types of apples, you make the lot into apple cider or hard cider. If you make cider you don't use just 1 type of apple and the different flavors makes it complex and flavorful otherwise you would just have apple juice. Hard cider was used more than tap water in the past.
That is so cool that you grew your own apple tree. Thanks for showing us! We love how tuck tuck is ready for his piece of the apple☺️
Nice! I was inspired by you so I planted one this spring, and it grew! It's two feet tall already with purple leaves, can't wait to see it grow up! Thanks for the idea!
Been following for years, its exciting to finally see how your signature apple turned out!
You could do a program where friends who volunteer to help you in the garden could get a graft.
Could your Apple tree pollinated with a fruiting crabapple, it might be why it’s smaller fruit, and crab trees are ( here in Denver anyway) are everywhere and are very good for pollinating other apples I’ve learned.
The tree that pollinates the apple tree won't effect the fruit, it would only effect the next offspring.
That’s what I meant, the seed you started into a tree was hybrid
@@jamesprigioni:
Yes, but the apple you got the seed from could very well have been cross-pollinated with a somewhat dissimilar species in the first place. If it was an apple from someone's yard, it's not unlikely.
@@hoon_sol even store apple's seeds will produce seed with this phenology. The pollinator trees (male) in mass production are typically trees similar to this. High pollen load to ensure the most pollination possible. Hence the offspring are many, mini apples
@@hoon_sol yes that’s why I’m thinking it might be a crab that contributed it’s attributes
Thank you for all your videos and inspiration!!! I have a food forest in north area of Denver so conditions and zones are different, but I still have learned so much from you!
❤️
We're in the hills west of Boulder, and the conditions are super real. Early frost, late frost, drought, hail... the list is long!
@@marcob1729 I feel for you!!! I think I have it tough. I’m in Thornton. Weather so different from year to year ( spring craziness) is getting to me as you can’t control it and it really affects your whole growing year. Esp fruit tree flowering pollination and setting fruit. Best of luck my fellow Coloradoian!
My dad planted miniature apples in the 1980s and a couple years ago our Rome uprooted in a windstorm. My golden delicious is almost dead now and a Cortland isn't doing too well. Unfortunately, I think it's because of two black walnuts I let grow that are only about 10- 15 feet away. They were about 20 feet tall. I didn't know about the juglone they produce that ruins the soil for other plants. Just a bit of a warning incase they're around. They were all really good, too.
Those little apples look like our wild crabapples and they're good if we get them before the deer! Tucker does a great job supervising. Thanks!
I wish I lived in an area that apples thrived. One day I will move north - but until that day I love to watch your channel and learn how to garden for that climate. And believe it or not, there's hardly a teacup in my house that isn't full of seeds from things that can't grow in Florida! People make fun of me but it feels like such a waste to just throw them away. When I do go north, perhaps I'll throw them all over my property just to see what happens.
I hope you get to experience this🌿🌸
@@Fatimasroots Thanks so much!
Have you tried growing dragonfruit?
I've got cedar rust on my dwarf apple. Any ideas on a natural way to get rid of it? I bought 2 more apple trees that we planted a few weeks ago (they do better here if we plant in fall) and supposedly it has qualities that fend off the 3 different "rusts" that affect apple trees in our area (TN)
Check if you have cedar trees next to your apples, they are what pass the rust back and forth from cedar tree to apple tree. If you can remove the cedars trees that are in the local vicinity of your apple tree that will help, you can also skim the cedar trees and see if you can remove the galls that form on the cedar trees to try to minimize the spread. Besides that disease resistant trees are your best options, and you can look into sulphur dust as a last result if necessary.
Prune it very open to help the wind keep the leaves dry. Compost tea with a foliar application has varying results, the theory is that the fungi in the tea will out compete the CAR. If you can find the cedar tree(s) nearby that are causing it, you can break the pest cycle and physically remove it (with your neighbor's permission).
I recently bought a bushel of apples from a farmer who grows Arkansas Black here in TN. He says they're very hardy and disease-resistant. The apples were only harvested a month ago and they're already getting sweeter. Not super sweet but not tart either, just what I would consider a normal apple flavor. (apparently Arkansas Black is known for needing a long storage time to reduce the tartness, up to several months.)
But I forgot to ask him what other variety he's growing; from what I've read Arkansas Black definitely needs a different pollinator tree nearby. Hope that leads you in a good direction.
@@jamesprigioni Thanks!! Removal is not an option as they're in dense woods behind our property (actually on a neighbor's property anyway) but will try the sulphur dust!!
@@reidlingtheseedling Our property line goes into some very dense woods with A LOT of trees. Most, from what I can tell, are the neighbors. But aside from being dense they're on an almost vertical hill as we live in the Smoky's. But I'll try for a treatment I can apply and the pruning when they get bigger!! Thx
2 years ago I decided to plant some apple trees from seed for #TeamTrees, and I'm pretty sure that's what started my love in gardening. I've also started a "nursery", which is really a single locust tree seedling at this point & a bunch of dead stuff lol
You're way ahead of most people. Don't feel bad about a failure here and there... I think I've killed more plants than most people ever grow :D
As you kind of alluded to, a standard tree doesn't have to be 30' tall! Aggressive pruning will keep a tree at almost any size. Dave Wilson's nursery has a video series about a backyard orchard, and the results of their pruning are pretty impressive.
I'll second that, it's a great series about keeping fruit trees under control and healthy. Very straightforward and easy to understand, even for a total newb to fruit trees like me.
Bonsai trees are proof that a tree can be maintained at any size you want it to be (people think bonsai trees are "dwarf" trees. they are just regular "full sized" trees that are maintained a certain way to keep them small) there are even bonsai fruit trees that still produce fruit despite the size of the tree.
