Can you grow a peach tree from the seeds from store bought peaches?

Yes, it is possible to grow from a seed/pit, however you will likely not get the same fruit as the fruit your pit came from. The most common form of propogation for fruit trees is grafting...where a small branch of the desired tree is grafted to rootstock, which would then result in the exact type of fruit as the tree it was trimmed from.

Yes it is possible, but with no guarantee that the fruit will be as nice as the one you have eaten.
Reply:You can grow a tree from the pit. You may need to wait about ten years (if not more or at all) to get fruit. Works faster if you crack open the pit and remove the seed inside.
Reply:Not with genetically modified peaches. They would need to have pits and even then, its really hard. The best bet is to just buy a peach tree and plant it.
