AboutTom Alonzo Expertise I have been growing plants from seeds for at least 20 years. I have grown literally hundreds of different kinds of vegetables, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, tropicals, some cacti, water plants, iris, rose, lilies, cannas, etc. I enjoy starting from seed.
Experience I've been growing my own seeds for 20 years with indoor propagation equipment I built myself. I am also an Allexperts volunteer on the perennial forum. I have completed the Master Gardener course through the Kansas State University Extension. I have experience with a wide variety of seeds and I have also read through Norm Deno's books on seed germination.

Question Hi
I live in Deux-montagnes, near Montreal. My front yard tree was destroyed by storm. I'd like to seed an aplle tree. Is it possisible to seed a big apple tree (5-7 years)/ How much does it cost/
Regards
Enriko
Answer Hi Enriko,
Thanx for your question. Are you wanting to plant another tree or start a tree from seed? You can buy apple trees that are fairly large, about 3-4 years old and will probably bear fruit the next year in small quantities. Those trees can range in price from US$30-100 depending upon the nursery. There should be plenty of nurseries in the Montréal area that sell this type of tree. Please let me know if I answered your question. I hope this helps.
Tom
