How are peaches grown from seed?
The peach seed or pit can be planted straight into the soil in the fall. In a mixture of organic soil and compost, plant your peach pit three to four inches deep. Cover the seed with one to two inches of mulch to protect it from harsh winter weather. Maintaining a wet, but not drenched, soil, water the seed while avoiding over-watering. Hopefully, you will have a sprout by springtime!
Can a peach tree be grown from a pit?
A peach tree may be grown from seed by planting the pit and allowing it to undergo a chilling phase. The offspring peach tree will be a hybrid of its parents, the parent tree and the pollinator. How is a peach seed planted?
After learning how to plant a peach seed, it takes three to four years for a peach tree to mature and bear fruit. If you lack such patience, try acquiring a peach tree to establish your orchard sooner while you wait for your mystery peaches to bear fruit.
