how to start in growing small trees?

[strilets]

I've read an interesting article about small tees at home
it is a kind of bonsai, but these trees are not only small but also they bring harvest

so, I'm burn with desire to grow small apple tree at home
I'm not sure about where to start
where to buy seed? or sprout?
also there is a question about pot?
how often the tree should be replant?

and... I don't want to read big books about that, because I don't have enough time but I would be really appreciate for practice advice!

thanks

Irina

Hi Irina,
Welcome to Gardenforums.com.
I have never grown small fruit such as this. I sure hope someone has some info for you because this looks very interesting.

Hi Irina!
The apple trees in the photos are dwarf culumnar trees and were designed for small spaces.
You can not grow them from seeds.
You need to buy them as young trees from a garden nursery that sells fruit trees!
Here's a good short article on the pros and cons of growing them:

Irina may be on another continent though, Ron. Irina, can you tell us where you are located?

Once you have a small apple seedling, transplant it to a larger pot and keep watering daily. If you want 'all-natural apples' do not add storebought fertilizer (you can use leaf mulch or compost). For More Details : http://www.wikihow.com/Grow-an-Apple-Tree-from-a-Seed
