how do you plant the pit from a peach?

Answer 1

Put the peach pit in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer for about one month. Peach pits need to freeze before they will crack open on their own to germinate. Don't forget it is there. When you take it out put it in a one gallon pail and plant it about one and a half inches deep with the point facing down and flat top facing up. Water it good and keep the soil moist. In about 5 months you should have a tree that is about 4 - 6 inches tall with about 6 - 8 leaves. Transplant in the spring and continue the watering and fertilizing.

Answer 2

Have you ever wanted to grow a peach tree from a peach pit? It can be done.

Peaches from seed can result in trees that bear decent fruit, although they may not look or taste just like the peach from which the pit came. Most commercial peach varieties are budded onto specific varieties of rootstock. In any case, peach pits can be planted in fall in a garden area, just as if you were planting any other seed. Plant them about 4 inches deep and apart in a row.

Cover with an inch of straw, pine needles or similar mulch and then water. Throughout winter, water the row when conditions have been dry and warm with no snow cover. Many of the pits will germinate the following spring. You can transplant them to pots for growing to a larger size, or move them directly to their new location. Avoid planting peaches on southern exposures, as the extra heat would cause them to bloom even earlier in spring, ensuring that late frosts would prevent fruit development. Eastern or northern exposures are best, but it will be several years to fruiting size from a seedling peach. Note that the late frosts our area receives will typically mean that peaches develop only one or two years out of five.

Answer 3

Let it dry out good. Then put it in a prepared bed or a pot. You will need to give it lots of attention the first couple of years. Don't forget to feed it.

It is important to remember that the peaches might be much smaller than the one you saved the fruit from. They are still yummy, though!
