Growing Tips
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain high humidity and well-draining soil during germination. Keep seedlings under full sun once emerged. Do not press seeds into soil. Transplant to individual pots once seedlings develop true leaves (about 5cm tall). Chill requirements: apples need 900-1000 hours below 7°C for flowering and fruiting.
