if it is the common apple we see in stores, it will germinate but won't fruit. |

Are you sure this is not common fruit seedling in Nigeria? Anyway, goodluck as we will be waiting to flood the market with the commercial production soon. |

niggi4life: Nigeria my country, a land blessed with milk and honey..If u buy apple from a seller.If u drop the seed,it might not grow.This is because most of the fruit didnt ripe before harvesting because of the days it spends b4 getting to Nigeria(u know they are imported)But most of them get rippen along the way or on arrival.THE ONE I PLANTED IS THE MATURED SEED(THAT IS THE ONE THAT GOT RIPE BEFORE HARVESTING.THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING@NIGGI4LIFE. |

gbenga4sure: That is because the seed you planted didnt mature before planting bros, I studied Agriculture. Based on scientific studies, that exotic apple we see in stores won't FRUIT in ondo. Its science, except temperature and photo-period doesn't matter in apple cultivation. Google can assist you better. 2 Likes |

I have actually planted apple and grape fruit seeds and they survived. I cannot tell where the apples came from exactly but I used rich humus soil from the garden and a pot and they germinated. The grape even started climbing and they out grew the pot. I took the pot to my uncle who had a knack for farming and he transplanted them to his farm, in a shaded area, but they withered away shortly. I'm guessing leaving them to the harsh tropical elements killed them off. 1 Like |

gbenga4sure: Many are of the believe that apple cant grow in Nigeria.But this is a big lie.Apples that are sold at shops here in Nigeria have been harvested before it gets ripe.This is because these fruits spends about a week before it gets to Nigeria.Few years ago,i saw a apple tree at a family friends home.I was suprised and ask him how did it happen,he told me that he is an agriculturist and works at the state ministry of agriculture.seriously am happy I can grOW aPplE in niGeriA |

Guys, there's nothing wrong with the apple you buy off the street - the seed(s) can and do germinate. However, it needs a cold period to break the dormancy. If you want to experiment with the seeds of the apple you buy, simply get the seeds, dry them for some days and pack them in a damp kitchen tissue paper or ordinary tissue paper and seal in a celophane bag (bread waterproof) and put it in a fridge for 2-3 months (1 month in a freezer will shorten the time but there's the danger of the embryo being damaged by frost). After the 3 months in the fridge, bring the seeds out and plant in a nursery and it will grow. You cannot grow apple as a commercial venture by planting through the seed. Apple is a cross pollinated plant and usually the tree you get from the seed will not be the same as the fruit you enjoyed and decided to save the seed from. However, if you are passionate about it, the best way to go about it is to plant as many different types and varieties of apple as possible and if you succeed in the next 5 years in getting a particular plant that gave you a nice apple, you may then multiply that particular plant vegetatively. 3 Likes 1 Share |

gbenga4sure: Apple tree owned by a family friendI said it in the previous thread which asked whether apples grown in Nigeria that a certain type of apple also grows in Nigeria. But its the reddish yellow or reddish orange coloured one. And they are a bit smaller than the common lemon green coloured apple. This is the apple that this thread is talking about. |
