EASY WAY How to Grow Peach Trees from Seed

Join Dr. Ieuan Evans as he talks you through what to do and what not to do when it comes to growing peach trees from seed. In this video, you'll learn what steps are critical to your success and you'll get to see how peaches are grown the easy way.

[@samkitty5894]

I compost all my fruit and vegetable scraps. My compost pile is full of volunteer seedlings. I pick the strongest and plant in pots where they stay for 1-2 years. After that in the ground they go. Peaches, nectarines, apricots, avocados, papaya, figs, lemons, grapefruits, etc. It cost me nothing and these volunteer plants are very strong and healthy. As the saying goes: "Only the strong survive".

[@justinpasula2886]

What a great method. Thanks for sharing!

[@afzalbhuiyan4956]

I am also collecting seedlings from the same source. These seedlings are better and stronger than artificial ones. I am also throwing apple and lemon seeds in my front yard during winter. Hopefully, I can get some more new plants from them.

I bought a bareroot peach tree - through our local what ever it is called, can't ever recall LOL- looking at your little ones it probably was at least 2 years old, a skinny stick, one year later it bloomed and we had 16 peaches and it grew into a monster! I want more of that kind of trees!!! I have 3 seeds I saved (the rest went into the compost pile, who knows....) I had tried growing from seed before with no success, going to try again! will put those three in the fridge for a month then start them indoors over winter; I need to garden on something when we have snow on the ground :)

I took some peach stones to my grand kids last weekend and filled two six inch pots with potting soil and showed them how to plant the peach stones. We put them under the reAr deck out of direct rain but still exposed to the winter cold. I told them they should expect them to hatch next March and to leave them alone until then. The put two seeds in each pot. They are the Heart of Georgia variety. I still have a few seeds that I am going to plant in pots and put in my small greenhouse.hopefully, we will have some new peach trees next spring.

[@justinpasula2886]

Thanks for watching and for the sub! Make sure to plant several in case you get a bad seed for germination.

[@imkadosh]

This is a wonderful advice. Thank you so very much! I have saved white peaches and nectarine seeds because they were so tasty and I wanted to reproduce them. Now I know what to do. Your fruit trees always have to remain in the greenhouse even though they are 20 years old because the weather would kill them in winter. But the miracle is that you live in Alberta and still you have peaches in summer or spring. Unbelievable!!

[@justinpasula2886]

Peaches can actually stand minus -20 C ( about minus -5 F). In my greenhouse, the temperature at the floor level is often -15C. Figs can also take this low temperature with no cold injury when they are dormant in the winter. - Dr. Evans

[@cristinaalbu2101]

Thank you for your informative and pleasant presentation. I didn't know that peach and nectarine trees are true to seed and that they will bear fruit in just 2 to 4 years after germination. How have you taken care of your nectarine trees so far? Did you prune them in order to encourage branching or did they grow branches by themselves? I have also started to grow nectarine (and apricot) trees in pots, but I am only a beginner (I discovered my passion for plants just one year ago). I lost my five-month-old nectarine tree at the end of this winter and I have just started growing a new one, so I would be grateful for any piece of advice you may have.

[@GoldStrawMedia]

Just plant peach and nectarine seeds outdoors about an inch or so deep (2- 3 cms) in garden soil or in a pot of soil 5 seeds or pits to a 5 inch pot ( water occasionally) ( 12cms) as soon as you have eaten them in July or August. Leave them outdoors all winter and check them for germination from March to May. Use 20 to 30pits of your favorite peach or nectarine. - Dr. Evans

[@taramulpovestilor6775]

@@valevisa8429 Iarna l-a prins pe nectarinul de care vorbeam in postare cu o tulpina de vreo 3-4 cm (care e in continuare foarte scunda) si cu cateva ramuri intre 2 si circa 8 cm. L-am lasat afara, doar ca am pus ghiveciul intr-unul mai mare, iar golul dintre ele l-am umplut cu bucatele de polistiren ca sa protejez cat de cat radacinile. In perioada in care au fost temperaturi de sub -7 grade am adus toti copaceii pe terasa (e o terasa deschisa, dar totusi ofera ceva protectie) si am incropit un fel de minicort dintr-o folie din material asemanator plasticului. N-am vrut sa aduc copaceii in casa (am o antecamera unde iarna sunt in jur de 10 grade) ca sa nu iasa din starea latenta. Au supravietuit cu bine, iar nectarinul a crescut vazand cu ochii. Arata ciudat: tulpina de vreo 6 cm si ramuri in jur de 60 cm (desigur, la un moment dat l-am transplantat intr-un ghiveci mai mare). Hai sa-ti spun si despre caisi. Am pus pe 1 august anul trecut 4 samburi intregi (nu doar miezul) in dischete demachiante (le cumpar doar ca sa pun la incoltit samburi si seminte :) ) umezite si invelite in foile alimentara si le-am bagat imediat la frigider. Le-am controlat din cand in cand si, daca era nevoie, am mai picurat apa pe dischete. La sfarsitul lui decembrie trei dintre samburi aveau radacini intre 1 si aproape 3 cm. I-am mai lasat cateva saptamani in frigider, dupa care i-am pus in pamant. Au inceput sa creasca rapid in antecamera de care spuneam si, cum a dat putin caldura, i-am scos afara. Daca noaptea era prea frig (sub 6-7 grade cu plus), ii bagam in casa pana dimineata. Acum unul din ei, cel care a primit ghiveciul cel mai mare (i-am mutat pe toti in alte ghivece) are 80 cm. Nu am inca un loc in care sa-i pun in pamant. In concluzie, daca ai sperante sa ai candva fructe (eu am, desi o vecina care are un cais de 3-4 ani crescut din sambure inca n-a vazut nici macar o floare de la el), ti-as recomanda sa lasi afara caisul si pe timpul iernii ca sa-si poata urma ciclul natural, dar sa-l protejezi de temperaturi scazute. Exista, desigur, riscul sa nu supravietuiasca, de aceea eu as strange cativa samburi in perioada asta si i-as pune afara in pamant, cum zice autorul videoclipului, ca sa beneficieze de un ciclu 100% natural, nu doar mimat, cum am facut eu.

Very informative video. Do apricots also grow to be clones of the parent and do they need to be cold in the fridge to germinate?

[@justinpasula2886]

Many plants produce seeds that are actually clones of themselves. The true seed dies out after fertilization and is replaced by the mother plant embryo. Dandelions and citrus ( Oranges) grow 99% true whereas many plant species may produce 50% true seed and 50% clones such as apricots and peaches, or 70/30 and so on. Most plant species produce 100% true seed. Yes, the peach seeds need about 2 months or more to chill in the fridge at around 0 to 3C or 30 to 35F in order to germinate normally. - Dr. Evans

Hello. After I successfully germinated my seedling, I planted it in a pot indoors. Do you by any chance know what kind of light it needs? Or where I should put it if growing it indoors?
