Apple Seed ~

[Tomstrees]

Hey everyone ...
Hope you've had a good
season ; or are starting one!

I have a couple questions regarding apple seeds:

My Dad was down in Cape May NJ last week, and
next to the house they stay is an
old apple tree. He's been picking the apples
from this tree and eats them for years now!
He likes them so much he brought a basket back with him! (Greeks, lol, there was this other time we stayed in a hotel that was next to a fig tree; ohhh the stories, lol !)

Anyway, this weekend my little brother is
coming down with a number of fruits for me and my Dad wants me to try and GROW a tree from these seeds !

Ok your opinions wanted as I know what I'm
up against here (kinda) :

1. Because its an older variety of tree (non-hybrid) , could I possibly get the same tree/fruit from the seed ?

2. If its an isolated tree - could it be possible that its uncrossed ?

3. Should I just take a fall cutting / root tone etc. and try it that way (fruit would come quicker right?) ?

4. How WOULD I start a tree from fresh apple seed ?

5. How long from seed to mature tree would produce fruit , if any at all ?

He wants to plant these trees all over their yard up in N. NJ . From what I remember, they taste really good for a "wild apple" so it def. has my interest.
Any input from the TVille crew would be great ...
Thanks ~
