You must be a very patient person to want to grow a tree from seed. First of all, stay away from fruit tree seeds. Fruit trees that produce good fruit are from grafts. Fruit seed produces an inferior tree. You can sprout acorns. I have baby oaks all over my yard just from the acorns that fall on the ground. However, after about 4 to 5 years, you might have a 4 foot oak. I think you should consider a bare root tree. It will grow faster, will not be an inferior adult. You can check out the website for the Natioanal Arbor Day Foundation. I believe it is www.arborday.org For a $15 contribution, they will send you baby trees, bushes and sometimes bulbs. They also sell tiny trees for a very cheap price. They will send you a catalog or you can go to their website for a look.
