Is it possible to grow a fruiting apple tree from an apple seed from a 'supermarket' apple. Or does a special seed need to be found?
Yes I have two pi k lady pips that have germi ated and the plants are now about nine iches tall.
get your pips make sure they are nice & dark . leave thenm to dry a wek on some tissue in a fairly rdry place but not too hot . then wrap them up and put them in the fridge fore three weks at the end pop tem in the freezer for 1/2 hr only then sow this preps the seed into germinating .
Put the seeds in a reasonable seed soil that is sterile if possible about 1/2 deep with the pointy end facing down ( helps stop them getting too wet & rotting ).
I put my pots on the shaded kitchen window cill gave a light damping each day and by day 14 the first greenery started to show .
Initially I had nine seeds six came up and slugs ate four when I planted them in bigger pots in the glasshouse, Come the end of may I put them in a bigger pot out side in a partial shaded position .
As has been said, they may or may not produce fruit at around year six or later , if they do fruit there is no guarantee that they will look like Pink Lady's or even taste like them .. you'll actually have a new strain of apple .
