Cany anyone identify this please

Hi there,

I was wondering if any of you clever people out there can identify this plant/tree? I put some apple pips in compost and then in the propogator and this is the only thing that has sprouted.

Any ideas?

Hope it works

Thanks

Mimi

 

Looks like an apple to me.

 

Me too

 

Nathan, dont be so nosey, looks like a gas bill to me.

 

Thanks all,

Ok so what do I do now, should I repot it, all help appreciated

And Nathan, it was a medical bill, didn't even get anything nice, ho hum

Thanks again

Mimi

 

Well mimi, you can grow it on, probably best outside in the garden, it could be a while before it flowers and fruits though. Even then it might not be all that good, on the otherhand it could be great.
You've just created a new variety.

Mimi what else are you expecting from an apple pip, a pear ? lol lovely specimen , clever you... just pop it in a bigger pot and tub later.
Do you know what variety of apple it is ?

Thanks Pete and Ladybird,

Well, you never know. As for what variety it is, I really can't remember it was quite a while ago that I planted it.

What are the chances of it actually bearing fruit, can it do it on its own?

In the meantime, I'll repot it and see.Thanks again

Hi Mimi

Like Pete mentioned 'you have just created a new variety'

Apples don't generally grow true from seed so its a bit of pot luck what you get also most commercial varieties are grafted onto rootstock to produce a certain vigour or height/spread of tree, so if planting it out be prepared for a possible big tree and you never know...it might be a new juicy variety

 

Oh Heck, now look what I've started, I'll have to think where to plant it out when it's ready

Thanks
