Hey guys. It's March and I'm ramping up for the farming season. I have over 100 vegetable plants going in seed trays and I have my garden tilled up and ready to go. I rent a house with property however my wife and I are looking to buy a home in the next two years. I'd really like to find some good fruit tree seeds for starting in 5 gallon buckets and I could transplant them when we move to our new house. Who has really good seed for fruit trees? Specifically Apple, Cherry, Pawpaw, Mulberry ? If you can name drop any brands or distributors with good quality seed and farming practices please let me know!

I’m not used to seeing fruit tree seeds for sale. But instead I usually see fruit trees for sale, they have been grafted to a rooting stock . And if you harvest seeds from fruit you’ve bought at the store it’s not likely to yield the fruit you are hoping for, unless it’s a heirloom variety. I’ve had mixed experience’s with buying fruit trees from local nursery’s ,in fact my blueberry bushes are the only real winner’s I’ve got over the past twenty years.
Good luck with your journey.
Gurneys is one that pops up in my fb advertising with the paw paw .

You can grow the fruit trees from seed, but then you'll have to buy disease resistant rootstock and graft the tree onto it. The trees from seed will have weak, spindly, rootstock and will be prone to pests/diseases. Your best bet (most inexpensive) is to buy bareroot trees that are already grafted.

If you have a rural king nearby, I like their selections. I have a few from Walmart that have done fine.

Have to spray Neem on them, but I think thats just outdoors no matter what...
