What a fruit tree looks like as a young sprout

So I better e xplain what I did in order to germinate  the PLUM seeds!  I used the same method I did for the other fruit tree seeds, which is: I bought plum fruits from normal grocery stores. I also used 2 plum seeds from my grandmother's plum tree. With this fruit I took the pits out and then opened up the pits with a hammer, to reveal the small almond shaped seeds. With the seeds, I buried them in damp paper towel w hich was damp with water and a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide . I then put the seeds which were placed in paper towel, in a tightly sealed ziplock bag. All of the seeds(even other varieties of fruit tree seeds), were then placed in a container that I covered to make it dark, so it can replace the darkness of the soil it would naturally be in outside. These seeds were in the fridge for 3-5 weeks. The ones from my grandmother's tree were in the fridge for maybe two months. I peeled off the skin of these seeds when soft enough to peel. ...

Image of cherry tree sprout opening up its sides with a sprout in the middle. I'm so excited that this red cherry tree seed is finally coming out of the soil! Image of a plum seed with reddish root and opening sides that are turning green! Image of two dates growing. I now have 11 dates all together that are growing. First date has a leaf growing up with dark green lines, and the second date is one of the younger dates that just started popping out of the soil and growing.! Image of the apricot tree that is growing up nicely! Image of the peach tree that is growing up well too!

H e llo !  Let me introduce myself. My name is Marie, and this is my blog called, youngfru it t r eesprout s.blog spot .com So, this is my first time ever growing fruit trees, and I've had a lot of success, so I wanted to share my success and my experiences in getting fruit tree seeds to sprout!  I hope you enjoy my blog, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!  Thanks, Ma ri e

Picture of growing apricot sprout: Picture of growing date sprout;(Two more dates popped out of the ground, so now I have 9 date tree sprouts growing! You can see a leaf growing upward, so cute!): Picture of growing peach sprout. The leaves are still pointed and the leaves are growing bigger, so cool!: Picture of a plum seed that is germinating in normal potting soil and will eventually sprout. This plum seed came out of a plum from my grandmother's plum tree: Picture of red cherry tree seed that is germinating in normal potting soil mixed with peat moss. This seed will hopefully sprout soon. This cherry seed came from the store, when we bought a bag of cherries:): And last but not least!!! Picture of a nectarine seed that is opening up in normal potting soil!: !:

Fruit tree seeds are found in hard pits. I broke the pits by using a hammer.  I went to an area where cement was and held the pit in between two fingers, on its side, not lying down flat. I hammered down gently but firmly until the pit broke into pieces. The seed can be warped and tiny, or it can be perfectly almond shaped:). Sometimes the seed itself will crack, so don't be discouraged. Just crack enough pits that you will get enough seeds that survive the beating in order to be able to grow sprouts from:) Cherry seeds are different. They are very small and very hard. I cracked them open with a wrench. The inside of the wrench I used was pointed oval shape with jagged edges. I placed the cherry seed at the back of this jagged pointed oval center and cracked the cherry. Putting it at the back of the pointed oval center helps protect the cherry seed inside from cracking itself, but cracks the pit in half really well! This is what you want. For germinating the cherry seed, ...

This is what a red delicious apple tree sprout looks like:) The skins of the seeds of red delicious apples are very hard.  I didn't remove the skins until after 1 week of being in the fridge!  They stayed in the fridge for maybe 3 weeks. They were in a sealed bag buried in a damp paper towel with water and a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide while in the fridge. Once the seed began to open up, I put it in normal potting soil! The sprouts are strong looking! They look good! I put the seeds in their cups on the window sill for indirect sunlight during the day! NOTE FOR PLANTING ALL KINDS OF SEEDS: Make sure the container has drainage, so holes at the bottom. Also, pour water over the soil to dampen it before you even bury your seed in the soil. Once the water drains out, then put the seed in the damp soil. It is better this way so the seed doesn't get lost in the soil when water is poured all over it. It's not fun searching through the soil to find the seed...

Pink Lady apple tree seeds are super easy to sprout! The sides of the seeds began to open up and sprout so fast only a week or days after they were first put in a sealed bag where the seeds were buried in a damp paper towel that had water and a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide in them! I put them in a fridge in this bag. So remember, these are super easy to grow! I placed them in normal potting soil and I let them sit in the window sill during the day for light. They love the nondirect sunlight!
