I am interested in growing some peaches in my back yard. I live in Georgia, so this seems perfect. However, I was wondering if I could use seeds from peaches I bought at the store that were labeled from Chile, or not? I was thinking they might not work because they were cultivated for the climate of Chile, not Georgia. Should I wait and get seeds from Georgia Peaches?

Thanks everyone! I'll buy a few trees from a nursery here. I actually wanted to start a small orchard, and thought it would be easier if I had several seeds than buying trees, but thank you for the advice.
**When should I plant the trees??

Usually people buy trees already started. The peach seeds might be hybrid and not sprout.
Also, you might have to have a pollinator. I would get my seedlings from a local garden center, or order them from one of the big seed companies, like Burpee.

Why don't you just get a small tree, you would have faster results. Your local nursery can tell you all about it. If you are really committed to growing one from seed, it might be smart to get a locally grown peach. Some fruit trees are not grown from seed, but are grafted to some other root stock. You also need to find out if they need more than one tree to pollinate and make fruit. Check out a garden center, springs's a coming.

It relies upon on the shape. some peach timber bloom too early contained in the spring and jack frost receives the blooms. A peach tree ought to produce each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, providing you've a cultivar that's acceptable on your area. Peach timber produce somewhat extra with yet another one by technique of it, yet they are self fertile. The tree is probable blooming earlier the bees are out doing their pastime, on the grounds that some pollination improves the yield. In zone 8b the position I stay, I actually have a tree that blooms in February. The peaches are golf ball length already. We were given no overdue frosts, so that's making a crop this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. when I bypass over that's because of overdue freezes. strong success with yours.
