Question
How do I start a peach tree from the seed?

Answer
Hi Kizz,
Thanx for your question.  This question has been answered many, many times.  It's a very popular subject here.  In, the future, you may want to sue the "Search for" application on AllExperts, and get the answer to your question a lot quicker.

For now though, here's your answer:

Bear in mind that peaches bought from the store are most likely the result of hybrids and come from trees that have been grafted onto a hardy root stock.  So, chances are extremely good, that after the 5-7 years it will take to get fruit from your seedling, the fruit will not resemble the fruit from which you got the seed.  With that said, get a nice sized pot (about 6 to 8 inches in diameter) and fill with good potting soil.  Bury the peach pit about 2 inches into the soil and cover.  Some folks carefully crack away the hard, outer cover to expose the almond-like seed inside.  You can do one of two things.  Place the pot outdoors for the winter or place the pot in a large plastic baggy, seal and place in the fridge for 60-90 days.  The peach pit will require at least 60-90 days of below 40 degrees F to break its dormancy.  The peach pit should sprout in the spring after the last frost.  If you place it in the fridge in the sealed pot, bring it back out after 60-90 days and keep it in a warm kitchen.  Germination should take place within the next 60 days.  If it doesn't, place it back in the fridge for another 60 days and then return to the warmth.  You can also take the peach pit and wrap it in a damp paper towel and place it in a plastic bag and put it in the fridge for 60-90 days.  Then plant the pit in a pot as described above.  I hope this helps.
