Can you grow a peach tree with the pit of a peach?
Question:you know, like plant it, water it, all that good stuff.
Answers:
Generally no. Most peaches that you buy at the store are hybrid varieties and the seeds are not fertile.
If you are lucky enough to get a fertile pit, it takes quite a while. The seed must go though a winter season before it will germinate. You would plant it this fall, it would winter over and sprout next spring. Peach plants are trees, so even after it sprouts it will be a few years before you might see a peach.
yes, you absolutely can! of course, it depends on where you live, the climate/soil quality, ect. I live in pennsylvania, where we get about average rain, climate, and good moist soil. My family decided to grow a peach tree and it is still in our back yard! Admittedly, the fruit took a year or two to bare fruit, and they are smaller than usual, so you might do better with a warmer climate, farther south. Have fun!
Depends on where the pit is from. However, most of the time it will not work because the pits are not fertile. I would buy a tree from a respectable nursery. Oops - didn't see the answer above me. He's right!!
seed does not guarantee fruit producing tree only a cutting that is propagated!....bang goes the gong..there it is said...now take a bow. ..thank you master.
yes the pit is the seed I have thrown lots out in the back yard and before you know it peach trees in a couple of years that is
Planting
It is also possible to grow a tree from either a Peach or Nectarine seed. The germinated seed requires a south or west-facing position and regular watering.
Peaches should be located in full sun, and with good air flow. This allows cold air to flow away on frosty nights and keeps the area cool in summer. Peaches are best planted in early winter, as this allows time for the roots to establish and be able to sustain the new spring growth. When planting in rows, plant north-south.
Hi, The short answer is yes.
You require a tall large post with well partically rotted horse manure,compost and grit for drainage. The horse manure provides the heat as it rots down which makes it germinate. Mine grew in the compost bin as the compost was rotting down. It is five years old this year and I have five peaches on it this time. It is outdoors in the main flower boarder. I am living in Wales in the uk.It rains a lot hear. I have germinated peanuts, Grapefruit pips and Avacado stones in a heated germinator in the past.
