Thank you for your simple and easy videos .
Glad you like them! Thank you for your comment!
I was really lucky 6-7 years ago.. i throw some seeds as they were closed in my garden..and sprouted from them self... That tree makes the most tasteful apricots I've ever eaten
That is great. thank you for sharing!
How long it took to fruit
@BharatSingh-il6jh from the second year... but only a few... from the third year we have big tree full .
@@giorgosxydous7509 you mean the seed plant started fruiting after two years? My plant is two year old and also from seed has a girth of only around 1 inch can it fruit?
@BharatSingh-il6jh after 2 years it produced fruits that were big and edible

One of favorite memories of my grandparents’ garden was the apricot tree. Being a military brat I rarely saw, hardly got to know my grandparents. Their apricot seed was started by us kids while we were there visiting while fairly young. Years later we visited and that tree had a bumper crop😊❤. Especially like apricots. Just got some last week and plan to start the seeds for my grandchildren to plant on their land. Thanks for the video.
@UncommonEyes Fantastic! Thank you very much for sharing and happy growing!
I ended up skipping the fridge part i dont want to do that much time waiting so they sprouted it worked i did do it to a peach but it worked so 👍 great video
Thank you so sharing and for your comment!
tried it, works!
Fantastic👏Thank you so much for sharing!

I loved eating the inside of the apricot seeds when I was little, but the ones I had were different, they were grown in Libya somehow they weren’t bitter, just a bit sweet like almonds. The ones in EU are bitter. 😊
Yes, you are right. looks like varieties have changed. Thank you for visiting.
Fantastic
Thank you so much for your comment!
👍❤
Can you please do the next part? Mine has been growing almost a year now, it has split into 2 branches & is about 10 inches tall, both branches. Im not sure if i should trim them or just let them keep going. I have moved them to a bigger pot already
It looks like your plants are doing fine. Nice work! 👏 It is really up to you. Do you prefer to have a single trunk tree or a tree with split trunk? Usually for apricot, early branching is preferred and if you keep both branches as main trunks, the would be great too. If not, keep the strongest brach and trim the other one. I will what I can do for an update video. Happy growing and thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for you helpful video, my apricot sprout is about 5 inches tall but lately the leaves are little bit yellow, please let me know the best way to fertilize it and what kind of fertilizer should I use. Thanks again
You can feed them with diluted (1/2 dose) water soluble fertilizer such as fish emulsion. hope this helps and happy growing!

@@davidgjorgjievski7173 Hello 👋🇲🇰
Do the plants need to be granted once you plant them?
Grafting would be the best option to get the tree to fruit faster and also to have your favorite variety. Thanks for visiting!
Can we have an update on the trees now please!!!
They are still very young (~2ft). I will wait couple more years and might graft other mature tree branches onto them. Thanks for visiting!
Hi, thank you for the breakdown, however nothing is mentioned of indoor or outdoor light?
Hi, You can keep them indoor until they germinate. As soon as they popped up, move seedlings to outdoor with 3-4 hours of early morning sunlight. After few weeks you can gradually get them more sunlight. I hope this helps and thank you for your comment!
They came up above 1 cm after I planted them in the seed starting soil. Now the leaves turn brown. The stem seems ok still. What do I do now? Too much water?
I assume its possibly to refridgerate them first and then crack after refridgerator stage is done?
Not sure, haven't tried like that. But looks possible. Thanks for visiting.
Best advice put Seed directky in to small pot in to goo quality compost lots of water and the proces gonna be 3 times faster.
Excuse me, do you change the paper you wrapped them in? Or does the moist paper not go bad in the 1-2 months?
You just need to moisten the towel very very mildly, so no need to change it. Thanks for visiting!
@@TowardGarden thank you so so much
I need to know about the soil type and also when you put seeds in pots what are the conditions needed (shadow/semi-shadow/sun)
The soil is seed starting mix (coco coir+perlite). Once they have 3-4 sets of leaves you can add light compost or small amount of fertilizer. Keep them in filtered sunlight, using a shade sloth or 3-4 hours of early morning sunlight, or part sun. Avoid hot midday sun. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
Should they be dried before cracking? Or should I let it dry out after cracking? Or don’t like them dry at all just place in damp towel?
You don't want seeds to dry out. That is why you keep them in a slightly wet towel while in fridge. Thanks for visiting.
After planting into soil should we water them every day ?
You want to keep soil moist but not soggy, probably every other day or so. Thanks for visiting.
is there a reson my seed is white instead of brown like in your video?
Depending on the variety the seeds are, it not uncommon to have white apricot seeds. Thanks for visiting!
Which months are best for germination for delhi weather
Pretty much like general conditions to germinate any seeds. It is best if your local weather temperature is above 25°C daytime (15°C nighttime). I hope this helps and thank you for visiting.

А как называется инструмент , которым Вы раскалывали косточки? Он специально для раскалывания косточек предназначен, или строительный?
It is just a "locking pliers". Sorry I don't know what is called in Russian. Thank you for visiting.
@@TowardGarden Благодарю за ответ❤️
How long does it take to grow fruits? And does it varie?
Usually it will take 3-4 years until it start fruiting. And yes it will be different depending on the variety. Thanks for visiting.
Sir can you help me i put the seeds in refrigerator but they kept molding
I already changed the paper towel 3 times what's the problem and thank you
Probably the towel is too wet. Try just adding a drop or two, and make sure the container or the plastic bag is clean too. I hope this helps.
You can also use cinnamon powder to prevent molding
Can you please tell me ,,
can we sow them in July Or August
Yes, absolutely. You can grow them until it gets cold. They will drop leaves (same as trees) and will grow back in spring. happy growing and thank you for visiting.
I have kept the apricots in the frodge for about 20+ days but i see no germination. Please answer me. And also i am growing apricots were the weather is around 39 degrees celcius.so is it ok
Not sure but it might be the seeds or the temperature your are trying to germinate them. Once removed from fridge, try to germinate them in room temperature. And 39 degree seems a bit hot but once they germinate and grow few centimeter tall they should be ok. Thanks for visiting.
@@TowardGarden we turn on ac so can i keep it in the ac room still
@@treeem8764 Yes, that works.
@@TowardGarden hey actually i took of the brown peals on the seed and i actually saw germination. I thought there was no sign but good i saw roots. I am still keeping it in the fridge. So is it ok or should i keep it at room temp. And also i noticed u got nice soil any tips to increase fertility of soil
That is great but as I said earlier seeds should be germinated in room temperature and not in fridge. I am surprised they started to germinate in fridge. Take them out and wrap them in wet paper towel, like in the video. You can plant them when roots are clearly out. For soil you can check my video on how to make a seed starting mix. When seedlings are few centimeter long, move them to any potting mix. Good luck!
What kind of soil did u use in this planting.....simple or perticular....if it's perticular....then what is the mixture of this soil...what did u mixed in this
I mixed a bit of compost to my seed starting mix(coir+perlite), but any general purpose potting soil would work too. Thanks for visiting.
Is it necessary to crack the outer shell? Will it not germinate otherwise?
It will have a hard time to germinate with shells on. But it is possible. Thanks
please
what should be refrigerator temperature, i.e., should I put them in upper of the refrigerator which freezes water in two to three hours or lower of the fridge which cools the water? i m from Faisalabad, Pakistan and temperature here goes up to 45 C in summer and 10 C in winter. in which season should i put them fridge?
Thnaks
Keep the seeds in the regular (lower) part of the fridge to keep it cool, not the freezer part. You can put the in fridge right after you collect seeds. Start planting them either 1. after the cooling process and grow them indoor during winter, or 2. keep them in the refrigerator during winter and start planting in the spring time. I hope this answers your questions and thank you for visiting from Pakistan. happy gardening!
After how many days you can replant it from pot to garden?
Wait until the plant is sturdy enough to withstand cold and frost. usually the young truck should be about the size of a pencil to plant in the garden. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
Can we plan apricot in hot climate area?
Apricots need chill hour in the winter to produce fruits. If you choose low-chill variety that needs much less chill hours, such as 150 hours or less, you may be able to grow them in your area. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
I have dried apricot seeds can. I grow apricot plant from that seeds
I haven't tried from dried seeds, not sure if it works but I 'd say give it a go. Thanks.
What happens if you don't put them in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks?
Simply they may not germinate. This is part of pre-treating process called "Seed stratification" which helps simulating winter conditions ; cold and moist. Thanks for visiting.
I tried without stratification and my seeds just rotted. They looked fine, but when I touched them, they crumbled apart
@@briedubbels8690 Thank you for sharing!
I have sprouted these seeds ,planted them in potting soil,are being watered , haven't kept them in direct sunlight but the small leaves that have come out are wilting , what is the problem.should I keep it in direct sunlight or what should be done to prevent this wilting?
I have the same question. I hope you found a solution and that your trees are growing nicely.
@@TheLazyDumpling nops not yet ,I was already taking care of not to over or under water , not to place them in direct sunlight and so on .that was the only suggestion I received .so now leaving everything on god's will .
You might want to check the soil to see if there is anything wrong with the soil. It might be effected by fungi or bugs and damaging the roots. If you have neem oil, you can dilute it and water the plants. Hope you will have you plants back healthy. Thanks for getting in touch!
@@TowardGarden I will do that. Thank you!
how long can i keep this inside? its cold and i don't want them to die.
You are right, if it is cold outside it is a good idea to bring them inside. Just make sure to provide enough light and keep them at average room temperature (70F, 20C). Thank you for visiting.
@@TowardGarden do i have to cover them with anything (like a plastic bag) or should i just leave it by a window?
No need to cover if temperature is ok.
how do we save seeds to plant in the future?
I haven't done it but I am guessing you can keep it is a slightly damp cloth in refrigerator. thanks for visiting.
When do I have to water the plant?
After planting in soil, keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Wait until top layer of the soil is dry and then water. For me it was about every 2-3 days. Thanks for visiting!
How often do you usually water the seeds ?

@@TowardGarden Thank you so much for answering this. Question witch on is better in or out door and if the plant is indoor how much water is needed? Thanks a bunch!
@@joshuamena7222 If night temperature are below 50F (10C) you can bring them inside, other wise outside is ok. And you want to keep soil moist but not soggy. Maybe 2-3 time a week is enough. Hope this helps. thanks.
😅 I had two seeds and I put them in the refrigerator, and when I took them out one had rotted and I did the next step and my seed hadn’t sprouted a root yet you don’t make it too wet? 🤔
You are right, probably the seeds were kept too wet. It is better to have extra seeds prepared just in case some go bad. Good luck!
@@TowardGarden ty for replying

If you are asking when to grow from seed, you can start growing indoors in the winter, and transplant it to bigger pots in spring. thanks for visiting!
Hi! Update on the seedlings?? How are they doing?
Hi! I have one growing in a 10" pot, it is about 4ft (1.2m) tall, but still very young. Hopefully will start flowering in couple of years. Thank you for getting in touch!
I’m confused. It says to refrigerate for 6-8 WEEKS but then it says on day 10, remove from refrigerator and plant into soil. So which is it days or weeks?
you refrigerate them for 6-8 weeks. After that, you take them out of refrigerator, and place them in the wet towel (in a room temperature, not in refrigerator) . 10 days later, plant sprouted seed in the soil. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Refrigerate then take out and leave for 10 more days then 25 days after the ten days finished you should see sprouts
Why do you have to put it in the fridge for 6-8 weeks?
It is for "Seed stratification". Stratification is a process of pre-treating seeds in order to simulate winter conditions - cold and moist - to prepare seeds for their usual germination temperatures come spring. I hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
Yes, thank you so much for your fast reply! Have a nice day.
How can i save the leaves from dying
That might be for several reasons. Overwatering, root damage due to fungal disease, pests or fungus damage to leaves, etc.... I am guessing it should be something wrong with the roots, remove from pot to see if pest activity going on in the soil. Thank for getting in touch!
@@TowardGarden hey i checked the roots and they look a bit thin to me.at first i thought the roots were dead but somehow the plant is still growing. Every new leaf is getting brown and i dont know what to do. And temp in our area is 27 - 35 celcius
do we water them everyday during the days till day 10?
Not everyday. The key is to keep soil moist, but not soggy. And definitely do not let it dry out. Maybe every 2-3 days. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks alot! i am trying it out cause its their month hope they thrive
@@user-fo8iw4qx5p Happy growing!
Any specific reason we need to refrigerate?
It is because of a process called "Seed stratification". Stratification is a process of pre-treating seeds in order to mimic the natural conditions that seeds would experience in the soil over-winter. In other words, it is the act of simulating winter conditions - cold and moist - to prep seeds for their usual germination temperatures come spring. I hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
@@TowardGarden That's good to know! Thanks for clarifying. I'm gonna try 😊

apricot grow tru to type ?
Depends on the seed and variety. Thanks for visiting.
I am so dumb i just buried the seeds with the shell T_T
While it is possible for the seeds to germinate with the shells on, it will take a very long time. So it is better to remove the shells. Happy growing.
Please explain why the seeds were refridgerated?
It’s like your making the seed think it is winter
It is for "Seed stratification". Stratification is a process of pre-treating seeds in order to simulate winter conditions - cold and moist - to prep seeds for their usual germination temperatures come spring. I hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
@@TowardGarden Is this step optional ?
Yes
@@annsgal2025 you will have a better germination with that. You can skip that but you don't want to risk and miss the growing season. It is up to you to take your chances. Hope this helps.
Frigero????. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yes, it is to simulate winter condition. Thanks!
What is the point of ripening seeds, i noticed this step is skipped in most other videos and would like more context.

How are y'all "gently cracking" these 😂 mine keeps getting cut in half
The best is to use "locking pliers". Adjust the jaw so it just slightly pushes the shell. Hope it works for you and thank you for leaving a comment!
@@TowardGarden thank you! I will try that!
I prefer to put them tall side up on the flat bottom side of a mortar and pestle, and then tap it with the pestle while holding it in place with your fingers. Didn't break any that way.

Barev, After keeping seeds in the refrigerator for 6 weeks (6 shabat), remove them and put them in moist towel at room temperature (20-25 C). The seedlings in the pots should be in some shade at 15-30 C. I hope this helps and thank you for visiting. Good luck! Շնորհակալություն.

Stop this drama, itz not possible man

So I had 6 apricot seeds that I grew, they're now comparable to your day 50 plants in this video. Out of nowhere, they're starting to die! Im down to four, soon to be 3 in a couple days as this next one is shriveling up pretty bad. I usually have a very green thumb, I cant figure out what im doing wrong! I washed my pots before reusing them for the apricots, I have great soil from my compost pile that everything else grows great in. They aren't root bound, nor do I over or underwater them. Any suggestions would be appreciated, but I'm starting to get discouraged with using seeds from any store bought fruit. I had honeydew and cantaloupe do the same thing. Got them to the point where they even started getting flowers on them, then they just start to shrivel up, wilt, and die! I'm so disappointed because I can usually grow anything with great success! Its humbling to say the least hahaha.
Sorry to hear that. It is hard to tell without seeing what is going on but if you water them daily, then probably there is something going on the soil effecting the roots. Remove some soil around roots to see if you can notice any bug/worm activity. You can either use systemic pesticide to drench the soil, or scatter Food grade diatomaceous earth ( amzn.to/3YL9MJf ) around stem on the soil and water. And sometimes it is fungal disease effecting the roots. Mikro-Root amzn.to/483rR9m or Mikrobs amzn.to/480Aj9r might help. Hope your plants will thrive. Good luck.
@@TowardGarden Hey, thanks for the response and tips. That makes sense to me, and I do already have some food grade D.E. I will be giving this a shot this morning!
