How To Grow Peaches From Seed Start to Finish

In this video I go over how I germinate peach pits to produce more peach trees.

Step 1) Buy your fav peach from any locale market
Step 2) Remove pit, eat peach (duh), rinse and let pit dry for several days
Step 3) Place pit into small container with moist spoil.
Step 4) Mark the date and place into the Frig for 3 months
Step 5) After 3 months, remove from Frig and place in a warm, lighted area (add a little water if it seems dry)
Step 6) Keep and eye on it from week to week but don't expect much for at least a month. If after two months you have nothing then you may want to water heavy and see what happens
Step 7) After germination and you have a healthy plant with lots of roots, gently re-pot into a larger pot with good drainage.
Step 8) Leave outside in a sunny location and keep watered for an entire season (at least one winter)
Step 9) Plant into ground in an area with good full sun and good drainage
Step 10) Mulch well and protect it with fencing for next year or two

After you plant a peach tree, the first two years are devoted to growing the vegetation and structure of the tree. Peaches grow only on branches that are 1 year old, but a 2-year-old tree is usually not large enough to produce and support a standard crop. Expect a young peach tree to begin fruiting by the third year after you plant it

In 3-5 years you will have your own Peach Orchard :)

I can't describe how glad I am to live in this century. Ate a peach, asked myself if I could grow a tree from the seed, googled it and this popped up. You explained it perfectly and now I'm following the steps. A total stranger from another continent was able to teach me this within 6 minutes. I didn't even have to leave my house. God, sorry if this is weird but it just hit me all at once.

I live in North East Michigan. We would can peaches every year while growing up in the 1960's and 70's. Dad would throw the peach skins and pits into the compost pile. Every spring it was my job to dig out the sprouted peach trees and plant them in a special area, known as Peach Tree Row. We always had fresh peaches from August and September, canned peaches the remaining months of the year.

The amount of time you put into this is respectable super underrated only 495 likes you deserve more.

I can definitely appreciate the time lapse! Bravo! Too many vids show sprouts but never show down the line thanks!

About the ONLY video that actually "follows up" with the progress. 10 thumbs up if i could

I've been doing this for 30 years. Peaches grow pretty much true to type. I lightly clean the pits with a soft brush and store them on top of the fridge till fall, and plant them in a marked row in Nov.or Dec. I have given away many. Mine Are Red haven and Free stone. Squirrels steal many. We are going to have a good year. 4-5 years for first fruit

You can also crack open the peach pit, take the actual seed out, peel off the brown covering on the seed after soaking it in water overnight and then planting in potting mix. I personally don't use soil from outside to prevent the possibility of mold and mildew forming on the seeds. It eliminates the cold-moist stratification process and is MUCH faster! ;-)

Bravo on the dedication it took to follow through on this video.

My son (6) was curious after eating a peach and this was the perfect video to show him about the process. Thank you for putting the time into updating the video, we both enjoyed seeing the results that make the long process worth it!

[Universalhealing-boir]

So glad you where still around to update💚 That was the best news still hope that's the case. Thank You🍑

Best peach sprouting video on YT no doubt. Great work.

I subscribed so I can follow the progress over time! Thanks for doing this! I remember many years ago my grandfather in North Carolina eating a peach one summer as he was walking around his yard and when he finished it he just leaned over and buried the seed in the ground and a few years later he had a nice sized peach tree from that very seed.

[YelloLibra]

I guess I got lucky…I buried a whole peach and forgot about it. The following spring it sprouted. I didn’t know what it was at first until my neighbor got excited and told me what it was.

Wow !! Excellent Peach Tree From Seed Video Tutorial, My GranMom Who Lived To Be 95 Years Old. Was An Angelic Expert At Growing Peach Trees From A Seed

[maureenedonovan]

I have started them after I cracked the seed out of the hard pit and then I wrap it in a damp paper towel folded around it. Keep it moist but not emerged in water. Keep it in direct light. not sunlight and then when it sprouts, I pot it on until it is big enough for the out of doors. Freestones do better with this method than Cling peaches.

[vanessavanessa]

Thank you for all the work, patience, and dedication you put into making this video and uploading it. I have some white peaches I've been trying to germinate and this video should help!

[arianamarieblankenship]

Thank you for showing progress all in 1 video!

Growing up I threw some seeds from my grandfather's tree next to the side of my house. Wonderful, and juicy, peaches. I had rabbits back then and in a year there be peach trees. Rabbit poop is a miracle grower.

My grandma would take us to pick peaches in New Jersey summers.
Everytime I eat a peach of think of her.
I would love to keep her memory alive by 0lanting peach trees in California. There are a lot of fruit trees in my area. Everytime I toss a pit I think I should be growing them.
