May 22, 2017: Apple Tree Seedlings

While eating a Pink Lady apple I reached the core and saw that some of the seeds had germinated. I put the core back in the plastic baggie to keep it moist, and kept it in the fridge until I could take it home.

At home I carefully pried out the germinated seeds, finding five such germinated, and two that had not. The five germinated seeds were planted, plus one ungerminated, just in case.  

Four grew a stem and leaves. The fifth germinated seed never poked it's head out of the dirt, I think I buried it too deeply (1.25" or so). The ungerminated seed stayed a seed.

Two of the four eventually yellowed and wilted. I tossed them.
