How to Plant and Grow a Peach Tree from Pit and Seed from Start to Finish

Ғылым және технология

How to Plant and Grow a Peach Tree from Pit and Seed from Start to Finish. We took summer 2021 peach pits and cold stratified them in the fall. Then in the winter we planted them and potted them into larger pots several time. Our parting shot is a baby peach tree after one year of picking the fruit.

    Good job. I would suggest using the hose to wash away soil when separating plants. If you have a self pollinating cultivar each seed will be true to the mother plant.

    Everyone that I have looked at on KZread regarding peaches, they say, 99% of the time, the peach that you ate and grew the pit from will produce same type of peach, especially red peaches, they generally come out true to form. I know that a lot of peaches the red ones people usually got a stone and planted it and it produced with peaches. In New Zealand, they called black boy peaches which could be deemed prejudice I don’t know, but it’s not meant to be and everyone seem to just grow them from these peach pets and they’re great, but now you don’t get them as easily as you did at one time, the Rizzoli’s are blackboy peaches in someone’s garden. I’ve just got to stones, that I’m going to put in my fridge for a few months and hope they grow. I must say your way of growing is quite different. You throw them all into one pot and then pull them apart. Where is everyone else puts one stone to one pot. So I’m hoping to grow my two stones and get to peach trees. Sorry if this is hard to read as I’m speaking it because my hands have arthritis and it’s hard typing so sometimes the words that are formed are not correct like it might cool the peach stone a pet which is really annoying. Anyway thank you for your videos.

    The paper towel is damp, not soaked. It is in the refrigerator that slows mold growth down. And sometimes I do get a little and as long as it is not excessive, I can just ignore it. The other option is add a 10% bleach solution to the moist paper towel.

  • @greatescapefarms

    @greatescapefarms

    Жыл бұрын

    They will come close to "true to seed" in many cases. Most peaches require cross pollination. With cross pollination you get genetics from both trees and not exactly "true to seed". There may be some varieties of peaches that are self fertile. If that is the case, you will very likely end up with a seed that is "true to seed".
