thanks for the video

[@sweetnestdownunder]

You're welcome 😊.

[@jorgemartin7697]

good job, I have grown nectarines from seed a few times, and they flower and fruit in just 3 years and they usually produce fruits that are very faithful to the mother plant, in large quantities and of good quality.

[@MrRedeyedJedi]

If they were refriherated at the store you bought them, you can skip the stratification part and just soak in water until they swell, then plant

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Thanks. I tried the stratification part again with peach, it didn't work at all.

How long do you wait to do any fertilization?

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Oh I haven't actually since I planted them. The soil I used contains mineral fertilizer anyway.

[@sofiahaoses6704]

I tried growing nectarines from pit bu my leaves aint that big, and they look fragile, should i wait for couple of months

[@sweetnestdownunder]

What's the season in your place? If it's getting colder, it could be that they're about to go dormant and soon lose leaves. Wait until they wake up in spring, they'll have greener and bigger leaves.

[@ashleyshayia8087]

Hi what type of soil would you recommend?

[@sweetnestdownunder]

I'm just using an all-purpose soil, worked fine so far.

@@antoniopacheco4861 What?

[@dalebailey754]

What did you do with the seeds once you placed them in a ziplock bag?

[@bellasayo4948]

You refrigerate for about 3 weeks(or until they sprout roots) I would recommend though, that you put the seeds In a dark humid place, it works better and you'll see results quicker.

[@sweetnestdownunder]

I refrigerated them and waited for them to sprout, but in my case they didn't and I got impatient so I planted them in the pot outside. They sprouted after a couple of weeks. I think the cold (because it was winter that time) did the job to germinate the seeds.

[@yodadunbar8909]

Do they actually provide fruit, so many say, it only grows into a plant and won't provide fruit? Cheers

[@ForzaJuve001]

So from what I read, the best thing is to not let them fruit the first 2 years. Do not allow young peach and nectarine trees to set fruit during the first two growing seasons. Remove flowers or young fruits before they sap the energy the tree requires for root growth. During the third year, allow the tree to bear a small crop. Do not let a tree set more fruit than its limbs can bear. Never let a peach or nectarine tree ripen all of the fruit that it sets. If a peach tree is not thinned it will yield small peaches that are just pit and skin; all peach and nectarine trees will benefit from thinning.

How do I store the seed for fall and winter?

[@sweetnestdownunder]

I've never done it, but this might help... www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/saving-peach-seeds.htm

[@BashengaMkuu]

How many weeks in the fridge?

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Approximately 3 weeks. I expected them to sprout while in the fridge, but they didn't. I got impatient, took them out then planted in the pot. About 2 weeks later, they sprouted!

[@jaymarr4124]

@@sweetnestdownunder i am impatient myself! I will try it as well. 🤣

[@sweetnestdownunder]

@@jaymarr4124 sometimes you've just got to try 😊. good luck!

[@nompilomkhonza6218]

Is this thing of refrigeration work? Cant i just put in on the soil😩

[@1voiceCriesOut]

They need to go through a cold period in order to sprout.

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Try planting them during the winter season. The cold outside should be enough to germinate the seeds.

[@dmitrimikrioukov5935]

I planted even Siberian pines. Northern plants normally need cold to germinate, but a small percentage may germinate without it. Also the chance of germination will be higher without the cold if you remove the shell. With Siberian pines I had 0% germination without the cold, but 100% germination with the shells removed. European pines and Siberian larches had little germination rate (like 5-10%) without cold.

[@sweetnestdownunder]

@@dmitrimikrioukov5935 I removed the shell and planted these nectarines in winter. The cold outside must have done the trick.

Did you get any fruit yet

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Not yet. They're still 2 years old. Maybe in 2 years time.

[@310frankg]

@@sweetnestdownunder ok I'll try

[@Oban2006]

i think you are talking but the music is ungodly loud so a word was not heard.

[@pagevpetty]

nice but disturbing the roots too much

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Don't worry, nectarine plants are hard to kill. I pulled out one unwanted sapling, put it in the bin, and saw it was still growing in there, without light and soil. They're pretty sturdy.

[@husch05]

Amazing seedlings, but just for your information, you might get peaches out of them. Nectarines are literally just peaches without the fuzzy skin.

[@sweetnestdownunder]

Oh I hope not as I'm trying to grow peaches too.

[@vivennaidoo]

Not necessarily peaches and nectarines grow true to type from seeds so if you plant a nectarine seed you will get nectarines and the same goes with peaches
