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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 😄

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.

Grafting a peach seedling (the scion) onto another mature peach tree (the rootstock)? I thought the seedling is the rootstock in grafting
@larryd6143 Жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.

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.

I bought a flat of “canning” peaches about a month ago and saved the seeds. 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!

Besides this, I sowed 7/8 seeds outside and left them to stay in the ground. I am very happy to see the new 5 seedlings popped and growing strong and healthy. I tried for apple and observed that growing and germinating seedlings naturally is better and more reliable. I got almost 150 apple seedlings and am still growing naturally and satisfied with the progress of the help of nature!

just a little info about sprouting i sprout pecan nuts the same way do it in jan i use about a dozen pecans lay on its side about 1 inch deep in good potting soil damppen place in indirect sun light dont let it freeze in about 6-8 weeks you should see tiny pink shoot growing then two leaves as weather warms let them have about 1 hr sun shine the bring back in as they grow add a little more sun time ive had about 80% success do ing this use a deep bucket for these so the tap root will have room to grow i made the mistake one time the tap root grew in coil like a spring ( too small bucket) use 5 gal bucket with drain holes if you can if grows leaves it has a tap root it comes out first but you dont see it let it grow to 12in tall before moving to its own bucket P S dont do anything to the pecans except put in soil

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🤞

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.

Tip - If you can, start a few seeds at the same time in case one is not viable. Thanks for watching and let me know how it goes!

Thanks for your comment and I hope it goes well. Here’s another tip - start multiple seeds if you have them. Sometimes one may not be a viable seed and if you have several then you can plant them all or just use the one with the better root. Did you see part 2 and 3? Thanks for watching!

Thanks Steve, I just did the same thing and after just 6 days Its sprouting but I'll let it go until 14 days as well. Subscribed. By the way, does a peach tree need another nearby to produce fruit?

Most peach trees are self fertile but having a second variety can help improve pollination and results. Here are parts 2 & 3 follow up videos: Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJekooCZe9WcqaM Part 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIrbhnt7h7Z6sJY Glad it’s going well for you and thanks for watching!

Depends on what your chill hours each year is. See if you can get a variety that has low chill hours that meets your location

Sorry but zone 11 is just too warm. California and florida have some sort of winter which is why there are so many peach trees
