    Hello to all. I wanted to knnow if an of you could tell me if this is what I think it is.
    A couple of days ago, an apple I was eating had 3 sprouted seeds inside, so I planted them. Yesterday, one of them sprouted a little. But today, I was going to water it and I saw that the edges of it's leaves looked like they were burnt. I'm keeping it next to a window, so I wanted to know if this is the cause? Is it burnt? My brother said it's probably rot but I have no clue. This is my first time trying to grow something form seed, or even caring for a plant, so I'm a bit anxious.
    Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated.
    Here are 2 pictures of the plant.
    Hope it helps =)

    By the way, the actual plant is not as yellow. I have no clue why the pics look so pale.

    Does look like it might have gotten too hot. Do apple trees grow in your climate?

    No clue actually. The weather here in my city (Guadalajara), ranges from about 16C (60 F) to maybe 30C (83 F). Right now, it's raining and cloudy all the time, so I thought it was weird for the plant to get burned.
    Thanks though, I guess the climate might be too arid here to grow an apple tree.
    I planted it on a whim, I was curious to see if the sprouts would keep growing. I don't care if it gives fruit, I just thought it'd be cute, if a plant can be cute that is.
