The Life Cycle of an Apple Tree

Let’s learn about how an apple tree grows! An apple tree has a special journey called a life cycle. This journey is made up of different steps. Let’s look at these steps one by one!

1. The Seed

Every apple tree starts as a tiny seed. Imagine a little brown speck! If we plant this seed in the soil and give it water and sunshine, it can start to grow.

2. The Sprout

The seed will crack open and begin to grow a sprout. A sprout is a tiny green shoot that reaches for the light. It’s like a baby plant coming out to say hello!

3. The Young Tree

As the sprout grows taller, it becomes a young apple tree. This tree will have leaves and branches. It needs lots of sunlight and water to keep growing strong.

4. The Adult Tree

After some time, the young tree becomes a big adult apple tree! It has many branches and leaves, and soon, it will bloom pretty flowers.

5. Flowers

These beautiful flowers will turn into apples after they have finished blooming. They can be white or pink and need bees to help them grow!

6. The Apples

Once the flowers turn into apples, they will grow and get bigger. When they are ripe, they turn red, yellow, or green. Yum!

7. The Seeds Again

When we eat apples, we can find seeds inside. If we plant those seeds, they can start the whole life cycle again!

And that is how an apple tree grows! From a little seed to an adult tree, the life cycle keeps going round and round. Isn’t that amazing?
