I was today years old when I realized the peach pit was not the seed😂Now I know you have to actually crack that thing open to get to the seed!! So cool how they plumped up after you put them in water overnight!! Excellent video!!🪱🪱🪱

'Don't hit the pit while holding in hands' She said it just for me 😅
Well I've found another way to open pits and requires even less efforts:
1) soak pit in water for 12-24 hours.
2) On thick side where you hammered, do light cut with cutting blade.
3) put screw diver and rotate it. It will open easily.

New sub here. Great video! Very clear and informative. I have been growing peach trees from seed (not in pit) for 4 years and have beautiful peach trees. One tree produced a peach in 2023, and it was Devine. I just cracked open 34 pits today. I do it outside on a brick pile with a chisel and hammer opening the pits on slit.

Gurl thank you so much....I have been treating the seeds up using my my shears

[lizadiana]

excellent, thanks! I followed your suggestions and was able to open all of my peach pits!

I spent 30 minutes trying to use nut crackers to open my peach pit.. I found your video and had it opened in 10 seconds ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊

I had to use the vise and after much hammering, put a screw driver in the crack and mallet it to break open! Are Washington peaches just tougher?

[davebowles]

Very informative and helpful. I wish I would have watched this first. I just tried to crack up open a pit and used a hammer the wrong way. I also didn't let the pit dry out. Thank you.

FYI, If anyone has those same green, long nosed pliers, the little round/circular hole on one side is the perfect tool for breaking cherry pits open. Just drop the seed in and close the pliers. A few trials will show you how to orient the seed in the opening. The hole is just a little smaller than the pit so it cracks open. You may need something pointy to push the seed out from the back of the pliers because sometimes the shells are still sticky. Then you can germinate those seeds too.

For cherry pits I use diagonal head snips and nip it at the flesh lip. And dry it for at least a week so the seed inside shrinks away from the shell. You could possibly use the same method for peach pits. Ps use a face shield when doing cheery pits they often send chunks flying everywhere.

This is very informing..I found too use plastic baggy helps keeps the pieces from flying...

[wbbyyms]

Thank you. I bought a peach and wonder if you could plant the seed. Thank goodness for your video because I would have planted the whole seed.. 😊

To safeguard your towels, counters and tables do this outside. The street and sidewalks are notorious for being free, hard surfaces most people have access to 🤔😅

Thanks for showing this. Can plum or cherries pits be cracked like this, or for the smaller pits this method can’t be used?
Thanks

Have you tried wire cutters? I’ve seen it done on YouTube

I have a collection of rags from old clothes.

i remember when i was 5 and had a peach for the first time, i bit into it like an apple and the peach pit just cracked in half, do my teeth have the force of a hammer?

[brandonmonroe]

I just opened my peach pits and my seeds look thin like these did these seeds still germinate even being thin?
