stricker,
first of all you need to know how many chill hours you get where you live.then you need to go to a nursery and buy a
tree that will produce in your area.in your state you will need a variety that can
withstand the low temperatures.the nursery man should be able to answer all your questions.
i hate to give you bad news,but from a
seed.it takes
years before they bear fruit and IF it does the fruit
might be inedible.buying a
tree from a nursery is a win win situation. Good luck and keep us posted
PS.a
tree from a nursery should give you fruit
in 1 to 2 years.
