Germinate Peach seed and plant in 14 days no cold stratification

How to germinate a peach in 14 days with no cold stratification

[@miapdx503]

Okay! I'm doing this today. Looked at a lot of videos but I like yours best. Someone left a peach pit in front of my door and instead of taking it as an insult I'm going to take it and make a tree.😏🌳

Hey Steve, I stumble across this video several months ago & had just eaten a peach, so I thought , why not. 1st surprise, I got double pods inside the pit, so two seeds to try. 2nd surprise, during the wet paper towel thing, the seeds separated into four separate rooted seeds. Two still had the wings with good roots & two were single seeds with puny roots, but I planted all of them anyway. Today, I have one with about a 2" stem 3 leaves starting to show, the other three are still green & the 2 singles split & have those wings, all have roots. Just wanted to thank you for doing the video, I'm enjoying this journey. BTW, it took mine over a month to start roots.

[@TheTexasGardener]

Fantastic! That’s interesting that you got the extra rooted seeds - I haven’t had that happen. Thanks for watching!

[@NMW80]

That sounds like a polyembryonic seed which can be a clone of mother type seeds which is great. Mangos have the same thing happen. Some citrus too. It’s great when that happens always keep them cos there will be some like the mother and usually one from fertilization but even then they may all be clones. Just going on research I’m not 100% sure about how this works.

[@SteveShoemake]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@Free_Falastin2024]

I can confirm that this works for apricots as well. It seems the cold stratification is only necessary if you don't remove the hull and skin of the seed. My apricot seedling germinated within a week and has now been transplanted.

[@Dark_Karma26]

Wait do you have to damp it with water once a week or just leave it there like that for 14 days 🤔

[@rimmersbryggeri]

May be the stratification has allready been done in transit. Also it's a little sketchy that a mediterreinian plant that grows naturally in north africa would need an extended period of stratification at all.

[@davidvickers8425]

Going to try plums too

[@ChatBot1337]

Can now say this absolutely works. Im right on track with the updates shown here (my ten days looks like his, etc). But I did soak the seeds for three days because I forgot about them. That said, the skin fell off in two pieces. Unfortunately, that was because the seed split in two. I matched them back up, put them in the paper towels anyway, and today I have a one inch peach tree after about 15 days from nutcracking. 😄

[@larryd6143]

Great video. I would have planted at 10 days. But the idea of skipping cold stratification is a good way to skip a year. If you sprout them in summer by spring you can graft the seedlings onto a mature tree and probably get fruit from it the following year. If you are hybridizing that is quick results for a fruit tree.

[@TheTexasGardener]

[@ThanhTran-et7ng]

Grafting a peach seedling (the scion) onto another mature peach tree (the rootstock)? I thought the seedling is the rootstock in grafting

[@larryd6143]

@@ThanhTran-et7ng You can do it either way depending on what your goal is. It you have a good variety you want to propagate you can take scions from it and graft them onto rootstock, that can be seedlings, mature trees or just a pice of root. If you are developing a new variety, usually by hybridization, then you can use the method I described above. Some trees can take several years to mature but if you graft a seedling on a mature tree you will likely reduce the time to maturity and know if it's a keeper or not.

[@ThanhTran-et7ng]

@@larryd6143 oh wow so many options. Thank you for the explanation and insight.

[@jacobski7216]

Tried it and it pretty much works with any stone fruit seed. Tried it so far both on apricots, peaches/nectarines, plums both greengage, prune plums ie Prunus Domestica and japanese plums ie Prunus Salicina and it all seems to work well! I would say I have near 100% germination rate with this trick! Works well even with old dried out seeds like raw shelled sweet apricot kernels that you can buy for eating in the same way as almonds lol. Weird how we are told to cold stratify and wait months and even years for the pits to sprout by themselves when you seemingly can do just this and save time and possibly guarantee that more seeds end up sprouting. Have you tried using this trick on other fruit seeds like apples and pears? I guess these are much harder to do with due to their small size but it wouldn't surprise me if this tricks works on many more Rose family(Rosaceae) plants. I am going to keep trying this trick with more plums and cherry plums which I assume all will work well and then also pear and apple seeds just to see if it works with them too.

[@TheTexasGardener]

Works with apple seeds and lemon seeds. I do this same process with avocado seeds but it takes a little longer for avocado seeds. They start sprouting 2-4 weeks. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for showing us how to do this! Last summer I got two cases of amazing peaches from a farm here in the DFW area and canned most of them.

@@TheTexasGardener What I used is a garlic compresser, so no projectiles fly out. If you position the seed to where the seam is sticking out and press, it should create a crack along the seams, which allows you to open it up and pull out an untouched seed. It worked for me at least.

[@Free_Falastin2024]

Put it in a cloth and hold it on its edge over a hard surface. Then hit the edge with a hammer or another hard object. Hit it gently until it cracks. It'll make a pop sound. Turn it over and hit the opposite side a couple of times until you hear a similar pop. Gently pry the hull halves apart and you've got the seed.

Cracked the shells and put the seeds not touching each other, on damp paper towels sprinkled with cinnamon in a sealed container in my fridge. Today, I found six had roots so planted those. The others I peeled off the seed coats, rinsed in cinnamon and put back into the fridge as before. In a day or so, I’ll pull them out and try sprouting them in soil inside a tray. God willing, I’ll have a small peach orchard by spring!

My last year’s lemon tree is about 15 inches tall . I can’t load a pic here. It works folks. It works for everything. I did to a mango seed, it worked well, but didn’t survive the cold winter here. If you live down south, you have lots of options and variety of tree seeds to germinate yourself, fast and easy. Nothing is like to see success result , it’s so satisfying.

Hey Steve - tried your method with two separate containers holding x5 kernels in each container. Just checked on the seeds today (7 days later), and both containers have mold in it. Any advise?

Yes, you may have put in too much water. I also recommend leaving the container slightly open so some air can get in. Try again but less water or make sure the container get me some air. Others have tried adding some cinnamon but I haven’t tried that so try at your own risk. I’ve heard some success from using a peroxide spray but I haven’t tried that either. Dry your current ones out some and see if they recover or try again with new seeds and keep the container open. Thanks and good luck!

I didn’t know you had to crack open the pit to get the almond looking seed inside. I just took the entire pit, put it in a shallow dish of water that covered just the bottom half of the pit and left it on my kitchen counter. In a few days the pit split open on its own and the inner seed started to sprout. I let it sit a few more days in the shallow dish, replenishing the water as needed, then just completely pulled open the pit part and the coating on the seed pretty much peeled right off with it. Looked just like your end result in a lot less time with a lot less work. Just planted. Hope it works🤞

Thing I have found with growing peach trees from pits or seed is the fruit from the new tree will not have a cling free pit which makes canning them a pain in the butt.

[@Dassick89]

A tree grown from a pit is like a child from two parents. It will not be a clone of either one but a mixture of the two, could be better tasting or worse, just different than both. You will need to grow a new tree from any seed and the graft from the existing tree you want to clone. That is the only way to continue that exact fruit you want.
