How to grow an Apricot tree from seed 🍑
Step 1: enjoy the fruit! 🙋♀️
Step 2: crack open the shell to reveal the seed (I carefully used a vice)
Step 3: wrap in a moist paper towel and place in a zip lock bag - don't forget to date and label.
Step 4: place in the vegetable crisper draw for "stratification"
Step 5: check every few weeks and replace paper towel if it grows mould.
Step 6: Once they sprout you can bring them out and leave the bag on the bench for a few days to continue growing.
Step 7: plant out in the garden or a pot 🍑
Stay tuned for Apricot seed updates and see if we can get fruit from it!
Growing fruit from seed is often discouraged but if you have space why not try! You may even get your own unique fruit variety and get to name it 😄 if not you will have a healthy tree to practice grafting on.
