I was gifted a good sized box of small unripe apples and pears that would only be useful for a small amount of jam or maybe candied.
I’m lazy and I didn’t exactly feel like processing them so I set them out back, and it is cold enough now that they don’t seem to be ripening / rotting.
Question is - If I leave them in the box over winter and they freeze and thaw - will that make the seeds viable do you think? Or is it necessary to take the seeds out of the fruit for some reason? There are so many that I don’t really need to worry about a few being duds. I don’t even know where I’d plant them but I’d like to get some use out of the seeds for fun.
Pretty sure these just came from “wild” apple and pear trees in their yard. I don’t mind if the plants aren’t exactly like the fruit as long as they sprout. Just trying to get some seeds to screw around with using minimal effort lol.
Oh right on, you can’t go wrong there. Sorry to give you unnecessary advice, I just learned the hard way is all lol
