How do u grow a peach tree from a seed?

after I canned the peaches, how do I start the seeds? Is it possible to grow trees from the seeds, and if so, how do u do it?

Do not plant the pits. Pits (seeds) are the result of sexual reproduction and may or may not (probably not) be the same variety as their parents. If you canned O'Henry peaches for example, the pits will not yield O'Henry peach trees. You have to propagate the trees from cuttings.





You will get some kind of peach tree from the pits, but it will be an unnamed variety that could be great, could be garbage. Plant breeders go throught 1000's and 1000's of crosses to come up with 1 new, good variety, so do yourself a favor and go buy the variety you want from the nursery.
Reply:just plant the seeds. thats the way nature does it.
Reply:Of course you can.. If you are 5 or 6 years old, you may even see it have fruit.. why? It takes a LONG time to grow a peach tree from a seed....If you take the pit from a peach and plant it, a peach tree may grow. The pit should be put 2 to 3inches underneath the soil. The best time to plant a peach tree is in the fall. It can take a whole season for the tree to begin growing, so you may get a plant the following spring. It takes about three years for the tree to begin producing fruit, but the fruit you get may look nothing like the peach the pit came from. It's fun to try it anyway. Who knows, you may get an interesting new variety!
