What is a way to grow apples without starting from apple seeds?
Apples trees are usually grown from saplings which are cuttings from a healthy apple tree grafted onto a root stock. This ensures that the apple variety will be the same as the one from which the cutting was taken. The seeds of hybrid apples (pretty much all the apples sold in supermarkets) will not necessarily produce the type of apple from which they came. This is due to cross pollination, meaning that the seeds will produce a new hybrid that is a cross of the two parent plants or, perhaps, will be sterile and will produce nothing at all. Ray
