Hi there! Let’s talk about something super cool that happens every fall—apples! Have you ever wondered how apples grow? Let’s learn about the life cycle of an apple together.
Every apple begins its journey as a tiny seed. These seeds are planted in the soil, where they get cozy and start to grow. With water, sunlight, and time, the seeds wake up and begin to sprout.
As the seeds grow, they turn into little sprouts that peek out from the soil. These sprouts keep growing and growing until they become young apple trees. It takes about three to five years for the tree to get big enough to make buds.
When the tree is ready, it grows buds that turn into beautiful flowers called blossoms. These blossoms are very important because they attract bees. Bees love visiting the blossoms to collect nectar, and while they do that, they help the tree by spreading pollen.
After about 10 days, the blossoms fall off the tree, and something magical happens—tiny apples start to grow in their place! These apples get bigger and bigger until they are ready to be picked.
When the apples are ripe, it’s time to visit the orchard and fill your basket with delicious apples. Yum! But what happens to the apples that aren’t picked? They fall to the ground, rot, and help make the soil rich with nutrients for new seeds.
And there you have it! The life cycle of an apple starts with a seed, grows into a tree, blossoms into flowers, and finally becomes a tasty apple. Isn’t nature amazing?
Thanks for learning with us! Remember to enjoy your apples and share what you’ve learned with your friends!
Plant Your Own Apple Seed: Find an apple seed and plant it in a small pot with soil. Make sure to water it regularly and place it in a sunny spot. Keep a journal to draw and write about how your seed changes over time. What do you notice about the seed as it starts to sprout?
Apple Life Cycle Craft: Create a craft that shows the life cycle of an apple. Use paper, crayons, and scissors to make each stage: seed, sprout, tree, blossom, and apple. Arrange them in a circle to show how the cycle continues. Can you explain each stage to a friend or family member?
Visit an Orchard or Garden: If possible, visit an apple orchard or a garden with fruit trees. Observe the different stages of the apple life cycle. Can you spot any blossoms or tiny apples? Talk to a gardener or farmer about how they take care of the trees. What did you learn from your visit?

Hi there! There are some things that are quintessential to the fall season, and one of them is the abundance of apples. Today, let’s think about the life cycle of an apple.
The life of an apple starts as a seed. Those seeds are planted in soil, where they will begin to grow. After some time, the seeds will emerge from the soil as sprouts. After three to five years, buds will form on the tree. The buds will then create blossoms. These beautiful blossoms attract pollinators like bees to the apple tree.
After about 10 days, the blossoms will fall off the tree, and apples will begin to form in their place. Soon, the apple tree will be full of ripe fruit ready for picking. Then you can head over to the orchard and fill your basket with delicious apples.
The apples that are left over at the end of the season will rot and provide nutrients for the soil.
There you have it! The life cycle of an apple starts out as seeds, which are planted in soil and will sprout into a tree. That tree will form buds, which will form blossoms. Eventually, the blossoms will fall off the tree.
