The Seeds In A Cup® Apple Tree Grow Kit is a complete seed-to-sprout system for growing Malus domestica at home. Curated by Kevin Bruce, expert horticulturalist, this kit gives you everything you need to start your own apple tree from seed — a rewarding, long-term growing project for gardeners, families, and anyone who loves the idea of raising a fruit tree from the very beginning. Perfect as a meaningful gift, a STEM learning activity, or the first tree in your future orchard.
Rated Difficulty Level 1 (Beginner) — no prior gardening experience needed. Apple seeds require a cold stratification period and typically germinate in 30-90 days at 33-40°F. Grown outdoors, apple trees can reach 15-30 feet at maturity and thrive in full sun (6-8 hours daily).
No extra supplies needed. Just add water, patience, and sunlight.

Apple seeds require cold stratification and typically germinate in 30-90 days at 33-40°F. Growing an apple tree from seed is a long-term project: seedlings develop over several years, and fruiting can take longer than with grafted nursery trees. The reward is a tree you raised from the very first seed.
You can start and germinate your apple seeds indoors using this kit, which is ideal for controlling the stratification and sprouting stages. For long-term growth and fruiting, apple trees do best transplanted outdoors in full sun once established.
