Growing Information

Antonovka apple trees require full sun and well-drained, loamy or sandy soil. Moderate watering is recommended to support healthy growth. Seeds need cold stratification to germinate, with germination typically occurring within 14 to 30 days after stratification. The trees require over 1000 chill hours to thrive. Due to natural variation in fruit characteristics from seed-grown trees, these seeds are ideal for grafting, experimental orchards, or breeding projects.
