How to germinate peach seeds without cold stratification

Here's how to germinate peach seeds in a paper towel without cold stratification. This is the fast way. To germinate peach seeds, you do not have to put them in the refrigerator waiting months for growth to happen. With this method, you can start seeing root growth in about a week just keeping them in a dark place, like a room, drawer, closet or under the bed. This is peach seed germination fast and easy.

Keep in mind, growing peach trees from seed is a long procress. If you don't want to wait long for a peach tree to produce fruit, you may want to look into getting a grafted peach tree. That way you know exactly what you're getting. With peach seed propagation, the fruit may be similar to the fruit you had. It may be better. It may be worse.

Here's everything you need to crack open peach pits:

I knew I had to sub when you said you'd been hoarding pits cuz I came here with literally like five months of aggressively hoarded peach pits looking like a crazy squirrel-lady and you made me feel safe and seen. 😂

There's a method to the madness!!

We had a peach tree flower in just 18 months from seed. They don't take as long as you would think. Thank you for the video.

I tried my first hand at growing peach trees from seeds last year. I did great with my apple seeds. They are 4 years old now. I have 3 lemon trees I grew from my grocery store Lemons. They are 5 years old now. And only 1 out of the 3 peach seeds grew. It's a year old and 2 foot tall. And I just planted it in my yard. I throughly enjoy growing plants regardless of the outcome of fruit. I currently also have 2 pineapple plants about 2 years old. Thank you for this video. I'm hoping to grow another peach seed. And just put it in the paper towel.

Awesome! I have germinated a lot of seeds this way. Not sure if anyone has commented, but try sprinkling the seeds with cinnamon to control mold. Can't wait to see your updates! =)

She's very informative, and she doesn't drag out the information. Great job!

Great video! This is the first year that I got fruit from my peach trees, and I didn't know how to plant the seeds. Thanks for posting this!

This is such a comprehensive guide for growing nectarines! Thank you 😊

I just started gardening very recently. I have a compost ball and I only have a few successful plants. Two young blueberry bushes, two sweet pepper plants and one very enthusiastic tomato plant. I'm very new to this but I just found your channel and I can already tell this is where I need to be getting my information. You explain things in a way that is very easy to understand. Thank you so much.

[shelina]

[annettehernandez]

[helenwilliams]

Man! I love your attitude and experience!

[ElimanGibba]

Beautiful. My cold stratification has not work ever ! Great to find this educational video cause I just harvested ( I need the seeds of the Donut Peaches, Yellow Nectarines & White Nectarines we don’t have in Oregon as far as I know & they our favorite fruits ) seeds cut up the meat in quarters and stick them in the freezer to juice or make smoothies later . I believe you just gave me the best lecture . Bless up .

[evelyny]

One of the best videos on growing anything that I have ever seen! Your attitude is awesome and I hope contagious! I appreciate this very much and I am just about to get started and try my hand at this! Blessings from Texas! ☺️🦋

Thank you for sharing! I put my apple seeds in the fridge and waited for what felt like Forever. I'm an impatient person and this method is awesome 😊

[iantalmadge]

starting a peach tree this morning for my indoor garden! so far my apple and citrus trees are doing great so i fifure why not go all out lol 😅. Great video! 💯😊

[csoanes]

Hi. I'd recommend sprinkling cinnamon on the seeds in the wet paper towel before you pop it in the fridge. Never had an issue with the cherry tree seeds getting mouldy that way. Might be worth a shot :) thanks for the video. It was super helpful in a number of ways!

[maryblackburn]

Thank you. This video is very informative. It answered all my questions.

[davidjangel]

Man, this is so helpful, thanks. I live in Scotland and have a bad habit of trying to grow seeds from shop bought fruit. The pomegranate was particularly heartbreaking.

Wasted like months trying to grow some gorgeous white peach pits in the fridge, I will try your method very soon and will at least know what's what after a few weeks.

Ah last thing, I was too scared of smashing my seed along with the pit, so I dremel sawed around that bad boy to weaken it somewhat to make for lighter smashing.
