Problem I am having with it now is the root system which is starting to really mess with my driveway and maybe even my foundation.... Very invasive top rooting systems on ash trees.
I am really curious to see how my apple tree sapling is going to fare throughout this winter, and if it survives to spring... It still has healthy green leaves and started as a seed and is now over 4 feet tall....
what kind of apple tree is it? I've planted several and was only successful with jonathan and granny smith......a lot of times the seeds you get from apples you buy in a store are hybrid and sterile but if you've already got 4' of growth, it should at least have a blossom or so, not many, this comin' spring....mac

It was a Gala, I am pretty sure... And I started it in a pot of potting soil and it took off pretty good. Since it is growing, I would guess that it sure wasn't sterile.
AT any rate, it is one of those "nothing ventured...nothing gained" propositions anyhow. Same with my late season tomato plants. Put them in a couple of pots just to see what they would do and now I have a ton of late season tomatoes all over the patio....

I read somewhere, that if you want to grow a tree from seed or pitt that the seeds or pits need to be refrigerated for a couple of weeks to simulate a winter season passing.

Trees R' Us....
My favorite place used to be on 2410, but they shut down. Then it was Omas on old 440, but she shut down. Any more it's a crap shoot. Maybe that place on Sleuter loop... That is where I get my firewood, but I haven't checked their selection of trees yet.

There are a lot of apple orchards around Mason, TX. They have an apple festival each year. Trust me, hell would sooner freeze than does Mason.
