1. [/*][align=left]The reason I am asking this is because we have a summer cottage that is only used 2 weeks out of the year in August 60 miles north of Montreal: and a few years ago, an apple tree sprouted and started growing just outside the bedroom door.* It grew apple last year: and I ate one:* It is not a crab apple, because the*fruit was tart but sweet and slightly red: not small, green, hard, and bitter: like crab apples are.[/align]

[align=left]Our*cottage is in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a wild forest,*on top of a hill.* No*apple trees that I know of are near us.* I have read how some trees use animals or birds to spread their seed.* Is this how this apple tree got there?* Did some bird eat an apple and fly over and leave their droppings, and the seed sprouted this way?[/align]
[align=left]Or did one of us just happen to eat an apple at that spot years ago, and one of the seeds fell on the ground, and it germinated by itself?[/align]
[align=left]I looked up some web sites on apple seed germination, and the instructions seemed to be very complicated..* Are these special instructions only for domestic apple tree species?* Is the one growing next to out bedroom window a wild apple tree?* Or is it a domestic apple seed? [/align]
[align=left]Anybody know anything about the difference between wild apple trees and domestic apple trees?* [/align]
