40 Apple Tree Seeds (Malus domestica) – Paradise-Type
These seeds are supplied as a Paradise-type Malus domestica apple lot. Apple seedlings do not reproduce a named cultivar true to type, so fruit color, flavor, disease response, mature size and bearing age cannot be predicted from the parent fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these seeds produce the same apple as the parent?
No. Apple seedlings are genetically variable and do not reproduce a named cultivar true to type.
Why do apple seeds need stratification?
A cold, moist period helps overcome natural seed dormancy.
Can the seedlings be used for grafting?
Yes. Apple seedlings are commonly grown as rootstock and later grafted with a known cultivar.
How long until a seedling fruits?
Seed-grown apples can take many years, and some seedlings may have poor or unsuitable fruit.
Will the tree stay dwarf?
No. Dwarf apple size usually comes from a selected rootstock, not from ordinary seed.
Where can I buy apple tree seeds for sale?
Seed World offers this 40-seed Paradise-type lot with an explicit seedling-variation notice.
