How do you sprout an apricot seed?

Answer 1

The acorn or oak nut (seed) gives it's dependence to dispersal agents, because the nut is to heavy for windblown dispersal the Oak tree depends on animals such as Jays and Squirrels, these animals bury pockets of nuts in many areas as food storage, the ones left behind (the animal forgets or looses it's life) germinates and the new life of and Oak Tree begins.

Answer 2

To sprout an apricot seed, first remove any flesh from the seed and wash it clean. Then, dampen a paper towel and wrap the seed in it. Place the wrapped seed in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator for 8-12 weeks. Once the chilling period is over, plant the seed in potting soil, water it regularly, and place it in a sunny spot to germinate.

Answer 3

I have had luck placing the acorns (making sure they don't have any holes from insects) in a ziploc bag, layered with damp paper towels, in the fridge. This mimics their natural sprouting environment (cool, dark and damp).

Answer 4

Apricot seeds can be sprouted like many other seeds. Either plant them in dirt and let them germinate, or wrap them in a wet paper napkin, tuck into a zip lock bag and wait for growth to appear before planting.
