Fruit plant seeds - grow your own fruit trees, berry bushes and wild fruit
Growing fruit trees and shrubs from seed is a garden project for anyone who brings patience, curiosity and a love of natural diversity. A small stone or seed does not simply become a finished standard variety, but an individual seedling with its own development. This is especially exciting with wild fruit, robust fruit trees and shrubs, and traditional species such as medlar, cornelian cherry, elder, rowan, crab apple or wild cherry.

In this category you will find seeds for fruit trees, berry bushes and wild fruit that are suitable for naturalistic gardens, edible hedges, robust woody plantings and botanical garden experiments. Sowing is especially interesting if you are not expecting true-to-type fruit production, but want to grow strong seedlings, wild forms or exciting starting plants for your own projects.
Many classic fruit varieties are propagated vegetatively in commercial cultivation, for example by grafting, cuttings or runners. With sowing, however, the genetic material is recombined. This means that an apple pip does not produce the same apple variety it came from. But precisely this genetic diversity makes growing from seed so appealing - especially with wild fruit, old woody species and plants that can later serve as robust garden inhabitants, rootstocks or breeding material.
Wild fruit is particularly rewarding to grow from seed. Many species are naturally adapted to generative propagation and develop strong young plants with a good root system. They provide flowers for insects, fruit for birds and often also edible harvests for your own kitchen. Whether as a single fruit tree, as part of a wild fruit hedge or as a long-term garden experiment - fruit trees and shrubs grown from seed combine usefulness, species diversity and the joy of observation.
- Fruit tree and shrub seeds for wild fruit, edible hedges, robust seedlings and special garden projects
- Exciting for anyone who wants to grow fruit trees from seed and encourage natural diversity in the garden
- Ideal for medlar, elder, cornelian cherry, wild cherry and other traditional wild fruit trees and shrubs
If you sow fruit trees and shrubs yourself, you need a little patience - but you are rewarded with plants whose development begins in your own garden from the very start.
