If you want to try them just put them in a potting mix but read below. From memory I thing Granny Smith are grafted. Liz "Granny smith apple trees are not self-pollinating. This means that another type of apple tree is needed in order for the granny smith apple tree to produce fruit. Like most other apple trees, the pollinating tree used with a granny smith does not really matter that much. As long as the pollen is fertile, nearly any apple tree will be able to pollinate a granny smith apple tree and create delicious fruit." http://www.aboutappletrees.com/granny_smith_apple_tree.shtml "Granny smith and delicious are hybrids themselves, this means the new seeds would be ploy-hybrid. This doesn't have much to do with viability; the seeds can still be fertile. The myth that seeds collected from hybridized apples are sterile might be caused by the fact that apple seeds need to be stratified before they will germinate. Stratification means the seeds have to be treated with cool temperatures for a certain length of time before they will germinate. Most people probably don't think to stratify their apple seeds. The seeds never germinate hence the idea that they are sterile or infertile" http://www.articlesbase.com/gardening-articles/how-to-grow-apple-trees-from-seed-473689.html
