Hey everybody it's Rob the backyard gardenerr and it is definitely time for an
update on my apple tree and its fruit so I thought for this video everyone I
would exclude giving you an update on the other apple trees only because there
hasn't been a lot of progress I mean the trees are just a few months older than
the last update and so really the main thing is how does the apple tree fruit
look the green apples that were growing are they any bigger and I believe
they're mature now I think we should go ahead and cut them open take a look
inside and give them a taste test it's gonna be a little quicker video this
time because we're not gonna show you all the apple trees but on the next
update we'll get you updated on all the apple
trees I'm growing including the three new ones I started less than six months
ago all right let's take a look at this apple tree so here's the apple tree that
actually sent fruit in its month 27 and right now we're at 30 just over thirty
three months almost thirty three and a half months and so the fruit have been
on here for six months and a few days so they're about a hundred and eighty five
days or so that the fruit have been on here and there's not many left because I
have been pulling them off slowly and surely to test them out throughout the
season to see what they look like this is the last one of the pollinated from
mother nature apples it's tiny it didn't do much but I will tell you we've
started to get a little more size on these two green apples over here so now
they've gotten to about an inch around just slightly bigger on one of them and
I don't think they're crab apples I think what we have here is some small
green apples that are only small because it was the first year the tree fruited
and it's a small tree so I probably should have cut the fruit off and let
the tree get bigger because it did stunt the tree having a support it had about
at one point twelve or thirteen little apples on it but I've been plucking them
every couple of weeks trying to allow the other ones to get bigger and let the
tree focus back on growth the tree is a beautiful tree though it's healthy as
can be its leaves look great it's got several
good leaders up here it's got a pretty good canopy the only problem is we do
have this issue to deal with and I'm tempted here probably in the next two
months once the first freeze hits to cut off this second leader and then I'm
going to wrap it at the base to prevent any disease and at least try to I might
even use some of that tree paint to prevent any disease I was really nervous
about doing it because I'm afraid to kill the tree
worst case is I'll just cut it slightly pass I'm not gonna make it to flush but
you guys let me know should I cut it flush or should I cut it up here and
wrap it that way we could try to eliminate some something kind of some
kind of fungus infection getting inside the trunk I'm a little bit naive when it
comes to splitting leaders if you guys have any resources that you think I need
to read let me know or that you could share with me but let's get back to the
fruit so today we're gonna do pretty simple job here we're just gonna pluck
off all three of the fruit pieces that are on here there might be a fourth I
guess I should inspect it real quick and make sure I didn't miss one but I'm
pretty sure I've gotten all of them off besides these ones yeah so let's go to
grab the two big ones down here too we'll grab them both just like this so
here's the three apples the first year though what do you expect you take a
second and stuck the tree for any other fruits and I'll be right back alright
guys I don't see any other fruit and just to give you a last final update
this tree is about eight feet tall now so and I'm reaching all the way up and
I'm 6-1 so it's about eight feet tall so it did put on a little bit of size this
year now that we removed the fruit from the tree the last few pieces of fruit
and it's starting to cool down out here in Texas I'm hoping it can add on a
little bit more foliage some new shoots here I'm not going to do any topping to
this guy I'll wait if I do any pruning it'll be done in the spring or or late
winter but I do plan on handling this second later down here like I've pointed
out all right let's get these cut open and
let's get these tested alright guys so we have the two larger specimens right
here let me go ahead and get this one cut open I want to be a little careful
with this knife because I don't want to cut it so fast that I damage the seeds
but you know what inevitably it's so hard to find a spot to cut like we just
did of course we cut through all the seeds one of the ways you want to make
sure an apple is right is the seed coating should be brown and I believe if
you look at this looks like other than the flesh part there we go looks like we
have brown seeds so these should be ripe now I've split these unfortunately some
of them at least like that one there and this one here is mostly split we dumped
them out and maybe there's a second one in here that I missed yeah it looks like
it could be one so some of you have asked hey Rob will you grow seeds from
apples from your tree grown from seeds and I will obviously this tree produced
this year so it'll probably produce again next year so I'm not interested in
growing premature fruit seeds which is why I don't care about these seeds right
here now they're not fully damaged so it's not without saying that I might not
try to grow that one right there or the other one but it definitely looks as
though we might have mature seeds in here which means this is pretty much
mature apples for that sized tree for this year next thing I want to do is I'm
gonna go ahead and cut off the stem and we'll cut off a little bit of this base
here just to make it a little bit more easier to eat I do want to give this guy
a taste test it does feel like it's a little bit hard still looks like we got
another seed right there and there's definitely no shortage of seeds in these
and these little guys for sure alright now that we've got that done I think the
next order of business is to go ahead and give it a taste test and kind of
describe to you guys what I'm tasting here but you can see it appears as
though the is a little bit dry and I think it's
because it's compressed into such a small Apple let me take a taste test
real quick other than it being a little bit dry
it is sweet has that little bit of that classic sourness that you will get from
a green apple though but you can definitely tell that this tree might be
an actual green apple tree next year I'm curious to see if the fruit get bigger
next year when the trees larger and it's in its second season it to produce
flowers and fruit but the jury's still up let me give you another test of this
one
yeah I tell you if that's a crabapple it's the best tasting crabapple I've
ever had and if it's a green apple it's definitely a little bit dry inside for
sure I believe that these are possibly just small green apples from a small
immature tree I think what I'll do next is cut this open myself bring you back
in when I'm done if there's anything different to show on it alright guys so
what I've done on this one is I went ahead and quartered it and I quart it
out a little bit we end up with five seeds that if I wanted to try to grow I
probably could but they're from immature fruit so I don't know what they would do
I might try to grow them for funsies and see what happens let me know if you guys
have interested in seeing these seeds to see what they do might be a waste of my
time cuz you want to get seeds from mature fruit not immature fruit but they
might grow so this one was a little bit more juicier when I cut it but it dries
out quick I'm gonna give this big chunk a try and let you know if there's any
variance in what it tastes like okay yeah definitely more juicier the larger
the apples were the more juicier they were I know it's a little meager harvest
and you know it doesn't mean a lot this wasn't about getting fruit this year I
really just wanted to develop the tree more this year but it set fly
and I had to try to pollinate it myself which I did with crabapples the Majesty
crabapples and I wasn't expecting it the really set fruit and it did and I
watched it all year there's a lot of fun and I hope you guys had a lot of fun
watching along with me at the end of the day we got to try apples from an apple
tree grown from seed in less than it's 3 years I'm very interested to see how
this tree does next year I'm also interested in seeing how my other apple
tree grown from see they didn't set fruit this year if it does flower next
year and then I've got three other ones that I started from seed that are coming
into their own as well plus I've got three more ones that I started from
Honey Crisp apples that are now about six months old which I will catch you up
in the next video all right everyone hopefully you enjoyed
that update on my apple trees grown from seed series month 33 kind of the harvest
video if you will on this tree right back here remember I have three
questions for you that I would appreciate some help on answering one I
need some information on how to go ahead and remove that other leader if you have
a resource or a video or suggestions please leave them down below I'd
appreciate it also are you interested in having me grow those immature fruit
seeds to see if we actually get them to sprout and grow something during the
winter let me know and I'll put it in my indoor grow room and then finally what
are your final thoughts on the apples that I harvested do you think they're
gonna be full grown or more mature apples bigger apples next year or do you
think it might just be a crabapple tree that tastes a little better than normal
crab apples I love your thoughts on all of them it's starting to rain right now
so I've got to cut this video short hopefully you enjoyed this update if you
did I'd appreciate a thumbs up and as always everyone happy gardening and
thanks for watching
