Can you grow peaches from the pit in the peach?
Question:I just finished eating a peach and we only have 1 left and i was wondering if i was able to grow a peach from the pit inside the peach. Please give me good answers because i dont no if i can or not.
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.
I'm trying to grow a peach from the pit too. It doesn't seem to be working very well, or maybe I'm not growing it the right way!
