Commonly Asked Questions
Q: If you tried to plant seeds taken from your Washington FUJI apples, will they grow into true FUJI apple trees?The answer to your question is both yes and no. Yes, you can plant the seed and grow apples. However, it won't be a duplicate of the Fuji's you purchase in the grocery store. The Fuji apple is a cross between a Red Delicious and a Ralls Janet. In addition, the tree requires a pollinator. It's very similar to having children. The offspring could look more like mom or they could look more like dad. It's the same with an apple; you can't guarantee what the offspring will be. It may be similar to a Fuji but it will not be a true Fuji. While this question was directed towards the Fuji apple, the answer is the same for all apples, pears and cherries.
If youre interested in planting your own fruit trees, make sure to visit your local nursery first to find out which varieties grow best in your climate.
