self pollinated crabapple seeds

18 years ago

Hi, I removed some seeds from a Dolgo crab apple tree that I planted last year. It is the only apple tree that bloomed this spring and it had 6 or 7 apples. My thought is that it was probably self pollinated and and I wonder if that makes the seeds viable and if they will come closer to the original Dolgo than a hybrid. Also I have heard that the seeds need to be stratified but I also read about apple seeds that sprout in a couple of days. Anyone here have any experience with this?
