can you grow apples trees from seeds out of my favorite variety?
The lodi apple
 
Hi,
Lodi needs to be propagated form grafting to remain true to type. If you planted the seeds the apples would be a cross between Lodi and whatever variety pollinated it, and the results would be unpredictable.
Grafting is fairly easy to do and will return fruit in a few years. The best solution might be to plant new saplings to get more Lodi apples. I am really curious how Lodi came to be your favorite apple.

Whip stock is very inexpensive. Be sure you get a good root stock that does not sucker and is dwarf, or semi dwarf.

Roots are the biggest factor in the mature sizr of the grafted plant.
