Need help for trees

My mother has grown literally dozens of avocado trees from stones. We've had apple trees from self set stones and pears too. So the answer is "probably"!

You can, however you have to experiment a bit. Many people that I have spoken to recommend that if you want to try a nut from the store, it is a good idea to roll the nut in rooting hormone, this is suppose to help the nut generate a new rooting system. then sprout a tree. The rooting hormone is great to use on rose clippings as well. I tried some on a longstem red rose one time, wow, what a beautiful bush we got out of that cutting. :) Good Luck! And Happy Gardening!

Probably not. I have 3 apple trees in my yard that have been growing here for 20 years. All three were started from grafts placed onto a regular crab apple tree root system. The seeds will not produce new trees and a graft from the tree will only produce a crab apple. I do have a suggestion though. If you live in an area out in the country where you can do a little roadside shopping, you may be able to find desirable trees. I have a beautiful black locust in my yard that was just a sproutling on the side of the road. Usually there is an adult tree with little ones all around it. Take a shovel with you and dig at least half of the hight of the tree all around. In other words, if your sproutling is 4 feet tall, dig a circle around it of at least 2 feet. You want to keep the tap root (the largest and most important root) intact as much as possible. Leave as much dirt on the root ball as possible. When you get your tree home, dig your hole deep enough so the root ball is about an inch under the new soil and then give it a nice long drink. Turn your garden hose on to a trickle and just let it soak for about an hour. Thats it. Your tree should grow. We have done that very thing with the maple trees we have, a few pine trees, the locust, buckeye and lilac trees. All of those are foundlings. We live in an area also where homesteading was common in the 1800's. A lot of people brought fruit trees from their home countries or original homes on the east coast when they moved into the area and planted them around the homesteads. This is where you can get some wonderful apple and plum trees as well as concord grapes. Just keep your eyes open while driving along a quiet country road, you can find currants, blackberries,raspberries, asparagus, grapes, plums and apples all over. Make sure you ask before you take a sproutling if you think they may be on private property at all. Most people have no problems giving other people pieces of their trees. You can do an entire landscape for free if you take the time to slow down and look. Also, you don't always have to dig up a tree to get it to grow. There are a lot of trees and fruits that will take root if you cut a branch off and put it in water for a bit. Grapes are one, raspberries and blackberries and lilac. Do a little research and see what grows how. One word of warning-there are some trees that are gorgeous, but can be harmful to your property if you plant them in the wrong place. An example is a weeping willow. A weeping willow needs a lot of water, do if you have a creek bed or an underground spring that would be the best place to put it. I have heard far to often of people planting weeping willows and then ending up having to pay thousands of dollars because the root system destroyed their septic or well system. Be careful, but have fun getting yourself some trees!!!

HI, I know you can grow a tree from it's nut... but about the nut that you get from the grocery store then I have no idea cuz they have been cold for such a long time and sometime it's root could be die already... but if you get it from a fresh fruit then it might work

I don't think it will grow because the nuts are mostly oven toasted. That means, they have been baked that it is impossible for the nut to grow. There are nuts which are not baked and I believe it will grow. Have a good day and enjoy planting trees. happy mylotting too.

The nuts you buy in the store should not be planted for growing trees. These items have usually been treated (either by freezing or some other means) to keep them from sprouting. If you are looking for nut trees to plant then you should consider finding either nuts that have fallen directly from the tree or better yet is to purchase the tree from a nursery. When using nuts that have fallen from trees you do not always get the most homogenious plants and sometimes the nuts are smaller and more bitter.

I asked my husband the same question once, and he said you coudl not because those nuts are usually roasted and treated. If you bought "raw nuts" you probably could, but not the nuts from the store, anymore than you could grow a coffee plant from a coffee bean, because it's been roasted.
