Growing a Peach Tree From Seed - Super Easy! How To Grow Peaches From Pit

Learn how to grow peaches from a seed. I share some tips for growing a peach tree from a pit effectively. Using cold stratification, germinating peach trees is a simple process and fun as well! In this video we discuss what you can expect when growing fruit trees from seed, genetic variation and how we can guarantee a fruit-producing tree.
The peach (Prunus persica) is a popular type of stone fruit mainly cultivated in dry, temperate climates with suitably cold winters. Native to China, the peach was evidently cultivated in ancient times in the Orient and eventually spread to become a popular fruit in Europe about 2000 years ago.
The lush, juicy fruits of the peach tree typically have white or yellow flesh and a mic of sweet and tangy flavours. Nectarines are actually a type of peach (the same species) although they are regarded as a different fruits in the commercial fruit trade.

My experience with rooting peaches is breaking the seed out the hard shell is unnecessary. I got tired of doing this way and dumped all the shells with the seed in them into my compost heap. Out of 50 stone pits thrown in, 48 tiny saplings sprouted. I started transplanting them into individual pots as they were sprouting up from the compost heap. Save some time and labor and let nature do her thang is my new way of growing.

I accidentally did this when we lived in Birmingham. We had bought a box of Chilton Co peaches and composted the pits. Few years latter we had a tree LOADED with peaches each spring!

I've been freezing peaches and instead of feeding the squirrels a treat this year, I decided to keep the seeds. We have some delicious peaches here in TN and Georgia of course. So I've got my root starter and I'm going to try... we all need to be growing our own food like ten years ago!!

Anyone watching from Africa??🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️ I'm in the year 2024 about to start an orchard with my inherited land

[bluesbonsai]

I watched you cherry video also and I’ve got my pits in the fridge right now!

[abbyg]

Just watched this video with my 5 year old because we had peaches today and I asked her if she wanted to try to grow a peach tree. Of course she said yes, so we're going to give it a try. Thank you for such an easy to follow video!

[ritabeitz]

I love it when people share their knowledge! It helps everyone and is so vital especially in these days, when looking for economical ways to grow your own food. Thanks a million!

[dylanbillion]

I have started saving my plum and cherry and peach seeds like a geek ...but I plan on following the process of nutcracking the bigger container shells and then soil planting eventually.i find it cool that I can actually see life that I want to cultivate grow overtime ; from beginning process towards fruition ...I'm excited to start this undertaking

[tired_of_the_chaos]

Not gonna lie, came here for the info! Subscribed straight up because of the accent! Hello from America, my friend!!!

[bethymears]

I was there to see the miracle.
My sister ate a peach and
Planted it in he back yard
And it grew into a lovely tree.
It's first fruit two years later was one peach.
I watched her eat that one and planted it that also grew.yay

[pagevpetty]

I was able to eat a nectarine from the store. Left the pit out for planting a few days later. Ice picked some holes around the bottom of a little gatorade bottle and one in the lid. Added peat and perlite. Cracked open the hard shell and dropped the seed in. Made sure it was covered with soil. Then sat it in a SouthEast facing window sill.
Noticed roots on day 18 and it started sprouting day 20 :)

[calvinchung]

I've successfully grafted a beautiful peach tree onto the rootstock of another peach tree. the flowers are beautiful and I hope to see the fruits it'll yield soon! Super exciting!

[jdamelines]

The neighbor and I decided to plant some fruit trees for cross pollination and now I’m here wanting to sprout my own already!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge mate!

I tried to grow a peach 🍑 tree 🌳 from a pit. I put the pit in potting soil and watered it continuously. Nothing happened. Winter came along with wind and storms. The container was blown to the grass and the following Spring there was a tree 🌳 😳. I know right? I saw 👀 the leaves a knew it was either peach 🍑 or nectarine since I had forgotten what was in the container next to the tree 🌳 😅. The second Spring I had flowers and peaches 🍑. Today it is taller than my roof even though I recently pruned it. It is about four and a half years old now. Amazing 👏 🙀 😯 how this all happened. Any way, thought I would share.

Thanks for the tips on growing peaches 🍑 and cherries 🍒.

Are apricots, plums, plumcots/pluots, , persimmons and apples 🍎 easy to plant? Thank you 😊

[michealtaylor]

Been wanting to learn this for years. Have saved lots of different types. Just starting to get into growing Peaches and Cherrys. So, I loved your videos on how to get started!!! Wish me Luck!!!

[austinmiller]

Your accent and just the way you talk is the best part of the whole video 🙂 thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone! I will be starting my peach pit today. And i think everyone " just loves a tasty peach" 😋 😊 🤭

[mikemccright]

you have produced a very impressive video. I’ve been gardening for about 50 years and I’m very very impressed at the quality and thoroughness. excellent and well done, good job!

[elviraviegas]

My dear Alex, it is lovely. I love growing all. the fruits. Thank you 🌹🌹🌹. I'm looking forward to watching the next video.

[deborahwales]

Brilliant! Very helpful and well researched!

[desireeadrian]

Thank you so much! Last summer we had a nectarine that was forgotten in the refrigerator and starting to turn. I plopped it into a pot with some soil and hoped decomposition of the fruit flesh and some care, would result in a sapling. I had no idea I was to crack open the “stone” for the seed!🤯
I’m hoping after our recent cold snap, that it might still have some potential in that little pot.
