Hat jemand versucht, einen Apfelbaum aus einer dieser rosa Lady -Äpfel anzubauen? Ich habe diesen vor ein paar Wochen mit meinem kleinen Jungen gepflanzt und es scheint gut zu sein. Ich hoffe, es irgendwann im Garten zu pflanzen, aber nicht sicher, wie es tun wird.

Well done on getting it to germinate but it’s not going to come true. Apples are grafted to retain the parent plant characteristics.
It won’t grow the same apples that’s for sure. The tree your apple came from was from a grafted tree.
It won’t be a pink lady, it will however be unique to you and you alone.
As everyone else said, it won’t grow true, and I’ve gotba vague memory of pink ladies being sterile or something
Just try and see what it’ll become. There’s a decades old apple tree in the garden of the house where I grew up; I planted a seed at the age of 5.
But from what I remember Pink Lady apples need a warmer climate and tend not to be hardy in ours. Worth a try though. I’d plant it out when it’s 2 feet high.
I recently grew 4 saplings from pips of the most delicious apple I have ever had. I then learned the sad truth. Still going to nurture and see if any are not crab apples…
I think it’s beautiful! Whatever tree it becomes, it’s a lovely thing for you both to watch grow.
My mum had a small oak tree from an acorn I planted as a 1 year old. It lived in a pot on the patio. It got to about 3ft in about 15 years and was adorable!
did it last year, So far its about 1.5m tall and seems to be doing well.
I dont expect it to fruit for at least 5 years though so who knows what it’ll end up producing, or if it doesn’t ill have some lovely fire wood and I might even get into grafting something better on the roots.
In my experience, growing apple trees from seed has given some fine apple trees that produce delicious apples. But as people note they are not “true to type”. That doesn’t mean they are going to be crab apples though.
Usually theyre pollinated with crab apples but the fruit will be superior for jams than shop fruit if so but worse for plain eating
Annoyingly apples will take like 10-15 years to fruit, I recommend letting it get to a foot or two tall then finding somewhere outside/in your town to plant it and forget about it for a decade
