I have some apple seeds from a local tree but Im not sure the best way to plant them. Should I put them in a freezer for a few weeks first? or what?

I'll copy a part of what I said in your other thread where some have responded.

You can go online to see how to germinate them. Basically dry the seeds, then keep them in the refrigerator or freezer for a couple of months, then plant them about a half inch deep. Ive done that with crabapples successfully. I planted the seeds in late winter where I wanted the trees to grow so I didnt kill it trying to transplant it.
