I tried doing a batch once and a few of them germinated but they either ended up getting eaten by ants or even rotting away after germination and the only one that sprouted leaves also didn't survive I'm not sure if it's getting too much water or if there's was something else going on with that one

So those trees from seed don’t need grafting to produce fruit early? How long is the difference between grafted and non grafted tree fruiting ?

I was weeding my compost pile one spring and came across a "weird weed". When I plucked it I noticed peach pit halves fell away. Thats when I realized what it really was and so I transplanted it. Surprisingly it thrived and provide some of the best peaches we have.

So glad to see someone advocating for growing from seed. Some gardeners are so impatient, wanting fruit from a tree they just put in the ground. So impatient that they claim it's impossible to grow any fruit from seed, even though that's how people have been getting fruit for most of history. Even with those that don't breed true to type, sometimes there's excitement in seeing what comes out. If the fruit isn't tasty, then you have rootstock to graft onto, so there's really no loss in my eyes. Plus the joy of watching your babies grow

I agree with this except there's a lot of misinformation out there about the results. Any time I tell anyone one of my trees is grown from seed they say "Oh there's no way the fruit will be any good!" I get that even if the other person doesn't really know about plants... If all the parents are tasty, the offspring tend to also be tasty...at least enough for jams and pies. If not, like you said, you have rootstock for grafting cuttings. 🤷‍♀️I wouldn't be at ALL surprised if it turned out this misinformation was spread by supermarkets.

My parents had a small peach orchid. Seemingly all the peaches ripened at once. My Mom would can most of them, and we kids would be very busy peeling peaches. My Mom didn’t let the peels go to waste. She boil them and make a peach soup which she’d chill before serving. This soup was amazingly refreshing on a hot summer day!

My peach tree grown from seed took 2 years for my first flowers with zero fruit and then year 4 it fully fruited and then they all fell off. Year 5 was full fruit again and 80% held but then the birds and fruit bats discovered them and ate them all. Years 6 (2021-2022) was a repeat of year 5. I’m reserved to the fact that my peach tree is there for the birds and bats living around me.

Prune it to manageable size and throw a net over. I had to do this with my macadamia nut tree.

Since my back started acting up, I just lay my veggie/fruit kitchen scraps on top of the soil and cover everything up with the used mulch from my duck house. Every year I get quite a few nectarine, peach and apricot seedlings. I usually pot them up and give them away. I failed to pull one up one year, and it has now grown into a very healthy and happy tree which is now flowering and fruiting well. I personally think that seed grown peaches are stronger and healthier than trees purchased from the nursery. Regarding peanuts, squirrels are great allies in establishing peanut plants. They seem to know the perfect depth for burying the peanuts and the plants that come from nuts sown by the squirrels seem to be exceptionally healthy.

When eating peaches/nectarines I've always thrown the pits into my yard, two years ago a baby nectarine tree popped up. Just a couple days ago it grew its first flower. This has gotten me excited to try and grow some on purpose, thanks for the great information on how to do so!

I grew up in house with about 8 peach trees, all grown from seed. The peach you called "large" was smaller than the smallest ones produced by all the trees. Some of them we so big and so juicy that you needed to use both hands to pick them if you wanted to do so safely. They produced so many that the neighbors got all they needed and the freezer was filled each season.

The patience this man had in making this video is amazing!

In Virginia, and across the Midwest in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, farmers would save all of the pits and plant them out, as they did with all of the seeds from fruits that they raised. They'd put them along the boundaries of fields so that they'd grow up into natural hedges the would yield fruit, if only for livestock feed. The inferiority of the fruit didn't matter, really, but this is how we got lots of varieties of excellent fruits, in the genetic lottery using thousands of plants. They'd also sow fruit seeds on unarable land to produce an endless supply of easy firewood. Again, the fruit could be good, which was wonderful, or it could be inferior, which didn't matter: peach wood, apple wood, and the rest grow quickly, are easily cut, and burn with a fine fragrance.

If you want to plant peach or nectarine seeds, make sure that they are not pollinated by almond (resulting a dry fruit like almonds, used mostly as rootstock or for back-crossing), because this is possible, and sometimes apricots and plums. Also, since you want to grow from seeds, you may want to delve into cross-pollinating different cultivars you liked, to see the interesting results.

I usually wash it - when wet, it is not that fuzzy. Otherwise, I would cut the skin off.

Doing this for 5 years have gotten me a peach orchard with 4 different peach varieties and a total of 120 peach trees and I've still got about 50 small trees in my peach tree school from the harvest in 2021 year. I make a new peach tree school every year and always in another place in the garden, when ever I eat a peach I just put the seed in the ground in the current school. I started with a 1 square meter school, but since a lot of my peach trees now provides a good harvest, my school from the harvest of 2022 is about 12 square meters. It's a great and free way to make an orchard! And they are so easy to grow!

Hey Peter, good to hear from you! Yes we get that over here too. One thing I’ve noticed is that some varieties are much more impacted by it that others. So variety selection can help somewhat. The first year we were living here I used a mixture of 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar to 5L water in a sprayer and sprayed the tree once during dormancy, once just before bud burst, then around every 2 weeks after that and I got very little curly leaf. It’s a fungal disease which I why I think this can help. This year I didn’t make time to do that treatment, instead doing nothing and some trees were badly affected, though I did notice my seed grown trees were much less affected - I’ve found seed grown trees to be less susceptible to disease and they usually grow pretty healthily. I’ll try the apple cider thing for a few more years to see if that was the thing that helped initially as some years can just be worse that others due to weather too. You can use copper spray which sorts it out though it’s not organic, but a potential option if you really need to :)

But I guess it will be quite difficult with a large tree in ground, thankfully mine is a patio dwarf variety, so should be fairly easy to cover. I might also try growing some peaches from seed too, you've definitely inspired me 🙂

I recently heard amending soil with gypsum will remedy it,,,I will see in the next couple weeks how well it works.

I pick all the curled leaves off as soon as I see them appearing and throw in my rubbish bin then immediately wash my hands. This season I had no curly leaf.

Amazing attention to detail with the production quality! Love this filming style & dedicated follow up

Thanks heaps for the feedback! Glad you liked it :)

I think it would be fun to have you grow a sea buckthorn tree it gets 12 to 14 feet tall so should be fine to grow. Oh temperature rang 100f to -50f

@@TheKiwiGrower you too dam. I've looked for a while but its almost always out of stock and its almost never refilled like why 😭

Wow purple peach is rare

Love how you videos show a full cycle. Thank you so much

I’ve been getting into gardening recently, and I find this stuff fascinating. To me, it’s especially satisfying to grow things from seed(though I haven’t had much luck yet). I just found this channel, and I can’t recall the last time I subscribed so quickly!!

I’m gonna be honest I though that peach trees looked more like how they look in animal crossing LOL

7:20 dude, wow.. I'm glad you told me it's related to an almond, because that seed is a clone!

The fact that you knew that, plus the fact you know Abscisic acid does more than just choose what part of the plant to kill/leaves to cut off, but that it plays a role in dormancy..

Thanks for being so honest!, your very interesting to listen too

Very fine nylon fabrics give me the sensation you're talking about with the peach skin.

Great information packed in a cheerful and sunny presentation. And great dogs too ! Thank you for taking the time to make these - they are very inspiring. Best wishes from a cold and dark Berlin.

Peach has always been my favorite fruit. Hopefully I will be able to grow mine own one day :)

This is a great video, with oodles of progress updates thank you..

The peach is beautiful!

Wow! That's dedication to your channel. This video was a year in the making. Kudos!

I watched your last video and was able to sprout an apricot seed. Thanks. Hope it makes it over the winter!
