How Do You Grow Peach Trees From Peach Pits?
Growing your own peach tree from a peach pit is a fun project for the whole family. The process is easy and can be started anytime. Germinating several peach pits is best as not all pits will grow into peach trees. The tree will produce peaches in three to five years but will not be exactly like the peach it came from. This article will show you the easy steps to growing a peach tree from a peach pit. Wash and scrub the peach pit under tap water and dry overnight. This removes all the fleshy material from the pit. Molding can occur if allowed to remain. Store the dried pit in a plastic bag in your refrigerator. The pit should be nearly dry to avoid molding, though condensation in the bag is essential. Keep stored until mid winter. Remove the peach pit from the refrigerator and soak in water for three to five hours. Place the pit in slightly moistened soil, within a plastic bag. Fertilizer at this stage is not necessary. Return to the refrigerator. Rooting should begin in six weeks. Pla
