Here's how to germinate peach seeds in a paper towel without cold stratification. This is the fast way. To germinate peach seeds, you do not have to put them in the refrigerator waiting months for growth to happen. With this method, you can start seeing root growth in about a week just keeping them in a dark place, like a room, drawer, closet or under the bed. This is peach seed germination fast and easy.

Keep in mind, growing peach trees from seed is a long procress. If you don't want to wait long for a peach tree to produce fruit, you may want to look into getting a grafted peach tree. That way you know exactly what you're getting. With peach seed propagation, the fruit may be similar to the fruit you had. It may be better. It may be worse.

Here's everything you need to crack open peach pits:

    I tried my first hand at growing peach trees from seeds last year. I did great with my apple seeds. They are 4 years old now. I have 3 lemon trees I grew from my grocery store Lemons. They are 5 years old now. And only 1 out of the 3 peach seeds grew. It's a year old and 2 foot tall. And I just planted it in my yard. I throughly enjoy growing plants regardless of the outcome of fruit. I currently also have 2 pineapple plants about 2 years old. Thank you for this video. I'm hoping to grow another peach seed. And just put it in the paper towel.

    I knew I had to sub when you said you'd been hoarding pits cuz I came here with literally like five months of aggressively hoarded peach pits looking like a crazy squirrel-lady and you made me feel safe and seen. 😂 There's a method to the madness!!

    Awesome! I have germinated a lot of seeds this way. Not sure if anyone has commented, but try sprinkling the seeds with cinnamon to control mold. Can't wait to see your updates! =)

    We had a peach tree flower in just 18 months from seed. They don't take as long as you would think. Thank you for the video.

    I​ am in​ Bangkok , one​ of​ the​ hottest city in​ the​ word.​ I​ planted​ one​ apple​ tree​ that​ can​ grow quite well​ ​, now​ reaching 5 feet tall but​ without blooming.​ Now I​ am​ planting peach from​ seed​ from​ your​ advice.​Thanks​ for​ sharing​ your​ useful​ video.

  • Thank you for this video! I'm a new gardener and the info you provided is going to come in handy! You've planted the "kernal" . 🤗

    I just started gardening very recently. I have a compost ball and I only have a few successful plants. Two young blueberry bushes, two sweet pepper plants and one very enthusiastic tomato plant. I'm very new to this but I just found your channel and I can already tell this is where I need to be getting my information. You explain things in a way that is very easy to understand. Thank you so much.

    This is so cool, for you to share, 😢 remember learning this in 8th grade science class in the 80s 🤭🤫

    Man, this is so helpful, thanks. I live in Scotland and have a bad habit of trying to grow seeds from shop bought fruit. The pomegranate was particularly heartbreaking. Wasted like months trying to grow some gorgeous white peach pits in the fridge, I will try your method very soon and will at least know what's what after a few weeks. Ah last thing, I was too scared of smashing my seed along with the pit, so I dremel sawed around that bad boy to weaken it somewhat to make for lighter smashing.
  • @shelina1
    You are amazing. Packed full of info and clearly a positive vibe. Thank you!! Gonna plant some peach seeds :)
  • Great video! This is the first year that I got fruit from my peach trees, and I didn't know how to plant the seeds. Thanks for posting this!
