Question
I've planted two apple seeds in my front garden and ended up very suprised that they actually sprouted. Now I've read about a million pages on the internet about how trees DO NOT grow true from seed. I am not worried about that.

What are the chances of these seedlings, the size of my thumb, growing up to be a full sized tree, and how fast will it grow.

If there is a good chance, what do I need to do to take care of this tiny seedlings.

Here is a link to a forum with pictures I took.

Answer
Could not get to the picture but--

There is a good chance that your seedings will grow to tree size.You will have to wait for 6 to 10  years to find out if it will produce edible apples - the chance of it producing an edible apple is about 5%. The chance of it being even remotely a tasty edible apple is very, very small. It certainly will not resemble the apple from which the seed came. This is because modern apple trees are a cross between two or more varieties. Further, you will not know which apple tree pollinated the one you have.

Apple trees grown from seed will end up 30 foot or so high because they are not grown on a dwarfing rootstock. All modern apple trees are grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock and this restricts their height.

So yes you will have an apple tree but more than likely not a fruit bearing tree.
