#Treelings

My tiny #apple orchard.
Unintentional early #trees (#Treelings), from #seed. Usually, I won't grow until March, as there is insufficient sunlight to promote growth. Winter #apples are shipped and stored just above freezing. You can guess how old the Fresh Produce actually is, based on the fact that apple #seeds need about 90 days of near, or below freezing temperatures for #stratification (to sprout) four trees (so far) that I am #growing here, sprouted in apples purchased in recent week.

A small plastic container, inside another, inside a bucket, with three expanded peat pellets (seed starting pods), each a tiny apple tree. A treeling, only one is visible on the right, containing several green leaves already.

Peach trees are popping up too early. We're had above seasonal temperature (1-record-breaking deep freeze night) in my cool room started sprouting. They weren't stratified very long, maybe 60 days.
I usually mark '90 days' date of stratification to check for sprouting.

Now I'll have to keep them alive inside, until spring thaw, and increase in daylight hours.

A tiny green leaf pops up from the soil of a peat starter pot. I have a dozen of these peach trees starting
