    I am planning to establish an organic orchard farm in Lafia-North Central Nigeria (mainly 36 to 39 degree Celsius temperature) for Pawpaw, Banana, Avocado, Grapevine, Apple and Pear. I have been trying to produce Apple and Grapevine seedlings through seeds but encountering challenges: The grapevine seeds does not germinate even in my mini greenhouse. For the Apple seedlings after germinating them via cold stratification and keeping the seeds lings indoor for about two weeks, they die. Please very kindly advise me on how to go about these 2 fruit crops.
