I compost all my fruit and vegetable scraps. My compost pile is full of volunteer seedlings. I pick the strongest and plant in pots where they stay for 1-2 years. After that in the ground they go. Peaches, nectarines, apricots, avocados, papaya, figs, lemons, grapefruits, etc. It cost me nothing and these volunteer plants are very strong and healthy. As the saying goes: "Only the strong survive".
What a great method. Thanks for sharing!
I am also collecting seedlings from the same source. These seedlings are better and stronger than artificial ones. I am also throwing apple and lemon seeds in my front yard during winter. Hopefully, I can get some more new plants from them.
Absolutely right
I just ate the peach and threw the seed in my yard, and it grew XD lmao
Great testimony as to ho easy this is! Congrats!
How long did it take to grow ;-;
@@baxterbax. Well, according to the video Gold Straw says that it takes about 2 years at a minimum for it to grow fruits!
Namariq Hassan never :0
I seen you on another Peach video XD. you said the same thing.
You're such a sweet man. I can see the passion you have for your hobby. Thank you for the information!

@@brendanharlan8262 I don’t know
Basic info without all the embellishments or product placements. Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you for your view and comment!
I'm growing a peach tree today ! I'm so excited! Brings back memories of my grandparents house (we bought there home) 🥰😍
Very cool! I’m planting some today too.
Same , I’m also growing cherry trees
Hows the tree going?
How it going
@@sebaxxtian6898 it's been three years how big is the tree?
Thank you so much!! That was so helpful! I can't wait to try
Thanks for the update. I have been struggling to grow peaches. I have a pack of peaches and will definitely grow the seeds.
I love peaches I’m gonna star growing them , thank you for the video
Lovely video. I'm just starting to grow peaches, myself. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for explanation. You’re very kind💕
Great video and I'm going to give it a shot.
Thank you for sharing, this is great!
Thanks for the information and presentation. I've always had a problem getting my peach seeds to germinate but now I know. This was very helpful!
You're very welcome. Best of luck!
Thank you for sharing I will try to do they same
I live 2hrs away from Edmonton, and after seeing this video im gonna try and grow some! i always thought they were tropical fruits.
Awesome video. I’m going to try this in nyc.
I planted a seed 9/06/21 y’all better ask how it’s doing in a year! y’all involved in a plant family now by reading this
That seems simple to start them from a pit. I am trying this. Thank you for sharing this information. Have a nice day.
You're very welcome. Have fun!
Thanks for this. I live in a northern climate as well and appreciate your insight.
We're happy you enjoyed the video. We love pushing the envelope on what we can do in our climate.
Sitting at home eating nectarines and I have decided to see if I can grow some here on Ynys Mon 😁
Much appreciated. Danke. my grandmother used to plat fruits trees in her Garden. It was very successful. Very informative indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice, learned a lot, thanks man!
Thank you so much for educational information well taken 🙏🙏🙏💯
Thank you.
top of my list for growing next season.....Alberta peaches :)
Thank you for the info now I plant my peach ^~^
Really enjoyed watching your video. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Thanks im trying it this year 👋😊
Wow, lovely
Thanks forthr video
Wow. What a great video. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching!
I appreciate your presentation !
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, Sir.
I just ate the sweetest peach in my life, juice went all over and after a failed tomato grow I got the bug to try something else…. Peach tree !! Lol. Thank you for the tips.
Sounds great! So many great things to try in this hobby.
Timely that this should show up in my you tube feed as we are canning peaches that we bought
Inspiring, thank you and bless up 🙏
We're happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching!
I was just dinking around and planted 20 peach seeds, without the pit, and I had 100% grow rate! I used my table vise and GENTLY squeezed the pit until it cracked.
Thank You!!
Awesome- i hope the see Dr. Evans approach to growing citrus from seed! thanks
We'll put in the request. Thanks for checking the video out!
If you get seeds in your citrus, just plant them like any seeds. THEY CAN'T FREEZE THOUGH, it's a tropical fruit. Don't let them dry out either, take them out of the fruit and plant them straight away.
Good luck.
Thank You Sir . 🙏
Excellent info.tip of The Hat my friend.
Much appreciated!
Thank you!
Thank you
I liked that
Great information…… Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thank yiu for sharing your wonderful talent may God richly bless you
Many thanks - Dr. Evans
amazing
you are my inspiration! I bought a bareroot peach tree - through our local what ever it is called, can't ever recall LOL- looking at your little ones it probably was at least 2 years old, a skinny stick, one year later it bloomed and we had 16 peaches and it grew into a monster! I want more of that kind of trees!!! I have 3 seeds I saved (the rest went into the compost pile, who knows....) I had tried growing from seed before with no success, going to try again! will put those three in the fridge for a month then start them indoors over winter; I need to garden on something when we have snow on the ground :)
Do you Crack open the stone first. Need to know
@@jeankeippel7780 I watched a few yt videos, none cracked the pis so I did not, gave it a few weeks in the freezer, or did I have them in the fridge, anyway cold stratification.
Great job sir, I love peaches, saved 5 seed and going to grow them the way you showed in your vid. Hope for good
Update?
Excellent video, I wanted to know how to grow peaches, thank you so much for such great information
Thanks for watching!
Very nice!!
I was so entranced with this video. Thank you. Now I want to go buy some peaches but it is midnight!
Glad you liked it and thank you for watching!
I ate some delicious peaches from a local orchard and saved the seeds on my counter. I just thought I will plant them! I want fruit trees! Thank you for the advice. In NH I think it is traditional to plant peach trees against the sunny side of your house, or in a sheltered area like that. But I see rows of peach trees in orchards too.
You're very welcome and thanks for watching!
Omg the dog is so cute
Just hooked up with 2- 5 gal. buckets of white peaches. They are excellent peaches,will be growing many from the seed. Hope they put out fruit.
Man that is so cool. I'm going to try 💗
Awesome - enjoy the process!
Great to know this!👍
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video
Thanks for watching. We're happy you found value in this.
I like ur idea to know that peach and nectarine can planted from seed .which I am going to plant this year
Thanks your good video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the information on how to plant nectarines.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Thank you! Finally a video where a guy grows a peach tree FROM THE STONE/PIT and not the SEED because the seed is too fragile, and must be protected by its hard outer shell during the winter and to break open when the sunny days are back.
IKR I was like why do so many crack it when it just takes some time and cold weather then warm weather to germinate
Rc Ganggg I think you should plant the pit from mid-summer to early autumn/fall.
Thank you very informative .
You're welcome, thank you forwatching!
I took some peach stones to my grand kids last weekend and filled two six inch pots with potting soil and showed them how to plant the peach stones. We put them under the reAr deck out of direct rain but still exposed to the winter cold. I told them they should expect them to hatch next March and to leave them alone until then. The put two seeds in each pot. They are the Heart of Georgia variety. I still have a few seeds that I am going to plant in pots and put in my small greenhouse.hopefully, we will have some new peach trees next spring.
Excellent - good luck!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
thanks for this.
i recently sprouted an apple seed and started some chives, and my mom requested lemons and peaches.
so i have a peach seed and am ready to start.
thumbs up and sub just because you're a fellow edmontonian. n_n
Thanks for watching and for the sub! Make sure to plant several in case you get a bad seed for germination.
Gonna give it a go
You have nothing to lose. Most people throw their pits away!
Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching!
very helpful thank you❤️
Thank you!! I didn’t know they grew so quickly!!! Can’t wait! Mine are going inthe fridge right now since I’m in ca
dumb your so stupid how do not know you dont deserve him i do
Thank you so much for this video you just saved me couple of hundred dollars. I was worried it was going to be the same as apples and not get a nice apple. I am still growing apples from seed too btw cos I think it’s fun and you never know what amazing apple your going to get. I am going to plant some peach and nectarine seeds instead of buy the trees now. Is it the same with apricots and cherries too? I want to grow them from seed also. It’s only 3 years to find out what peaches n nectarines are like and I am going to plant a few different types of peaches and see what ones I like the best.
Same with apricots (grow true from seed) but not cherries.
Thanks for your help. I’m looking forward to trying this, Best regards 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧Dave
awesome!
Thanks for your view!
Thanks so much🥰 I’m starting from Ohio✨🌻
If you're in Ohio, you should grow them outside. - Dr. Evans
I think I will try and germinate them and grow them as bonsai.
Thanks old man
You're welcome young fella.
This is a wonderful advice. Thank you so very much!
I have saved white peaches and nectarine seeds because they were so tasty and I wanted to reproduce them. Now I know what to do.
Your fruit trees always have to remain in the greenhouse even though they are 20 years old because the weather would kill them in winter.
But the miracle is that you live in Alberta and still you have peaches in summer or spring. Unbelievable!!
Peaches can actually stand minus -20 C ( about minus -5 F). In my greenhouse, the temperature at the floor level is often -15C. Figs can also take this low temperature with no cold injury when they are dormant in the winter. - Dr. Evans
@@justinpasula2886 Oh my God, I never knew this. Thank you so very much, for personally replying. Thank you you, Dr. Evans.
@@imkadosh You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great to know i dont have to bother cracking it open!!
It's unnecessary and doesn't really happen like that in nature anyway.
My peach seed just sprouted today so excited
Wow! thx for the update.
Make sure that the sprouted seed stays outside for the winter either directly in garden soil or in a large pot and you live in a moderately cold climate such as Virginia, New Jersey, or Spain or a comparable climate country. - Dr. Evans
@@GoldStrawMedia I live in Calgary Alberta. Thanks for the tip. If you have anymore I'd appreciate it
I have done exactly this but also trying the seed pip inside the shell on its own just to see what differences there are between the two growing, now just the waiting for them hopefully to grow. 👍
Excellent - please post back with your findings and happy experimentation!
Update?
Thank you so much, what a great video! I've eaten an amazing peach yesterday and just had that idea to plant the seed, I hope it will replicate the exact same fruit :).
It will. While you're at it plant a few more so you can select your strongest trees.
@@justinpasula2886 Yes, I will do that in the next few days, thank you :). It was only one that tasted so good, I went to the store today but they had different delivery of peaches, not the same, weren't even ripe. I treat that seed like GOLD now 😊.
@@See_Life Whoa, the pressure is on! Good luck!!
@@justinpasula2886 Thanks! 😄 I wish it could go without the stratification for 2 months, but that seems to be the standard process of growing healthy seeds.
@@See_Life Tell me about it.
Cool..I'm on this
Thank you for the video, very informative. Can this be done in a cold climate, like Alberta's, without a greenhouse?
Generally a garage or inside. There's a possibility of burying it outside through the winter as the stem is plyable. Once it stiffens it can be cut off and restarted from the suckers.
I tried each of the last two years to grow peach tree and it dit not work. I buy Ontario peach at the end of the summer, and I keep the pit at room temperature without getting the almond out then, around january, I take the almond out of the pit, and put it in the fridge, I sow them in mid-may. Since it did not work, could I better my stratification process (chilling period). I think I gonna like your channel ....
Thank you sir!
If I living in a country that have 37-44 C, in the summer (and now is summer) should I wait for winter?
I have lots of seeds and I just cant wait :)
Great
Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you for the video, I ate the sweetest peach I've ever tasted today and kept the seed. I am going to store the seeds in the frig and plant them next week and see what happens
your the worst person on thia hole planet you cant spell fridge
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
good flaver frout
Thank you for your informative and pleasant presentation. I didn't know that peach and nectarine trees are true to seed and that they will bear fruit in just 2 to 4 years after germination. How have you taken care of your nectarine trees so far? Did you prune them in order to encourage branching or did they grow branches by themselves?
I have also started to grow nectarine (and apricot) trees in pots, but I am only a beginner (I discovered my passion for plants just one year ago). I lost my five-month-old nectarine tree at the end of this winter and I have just started growing a new one, so I would be grateful for any piece of advice you may have.
Just plant peach and nectarine seeds outdoors about an inch or so deep (2- 3 cms) in garden soil or in a pot of soil 5 seeds or pits to a 5 inch pot ( water occasionally) ( 12cms) as soon as you have eaten them in July or August. Leave them outdoors all winter and check them for germination from March to May. Use 20 to 30pits of your favorite peach or nectarine. - Dr. Evans
@@GoldStrawMedia Thank you for your information. Is it possible to grow nectarines in a hoter climate outside? Iam living in Costa Rica at the beach , we have dry and raining season. On the back of the property
are the mangroves and on the front
the ozean. Thank you.
Ce se mai intampla cu experimentele tale cu piersici ?Eu am pus acum 5 saptamani mai multi samburi de caise in servetel umed,si acum am un mic cais de 2 cm.Problema e ca nu stiu ce o sa fac la iarna cu el(e in ghiveci).Ai vreo idee ?
@@valevisa8429 Iarna l-a prins pe nectarinul de care vorbeam in postare cu o tulpina de vreo 3-4 cm (care e in continuare foarte scunda) si cu cateva ramuri intre 2 si circa 8 cm. L-am lasat afara, doar ca am pus ghiveciul intr-unul mai mare, iar golul dintre ele l-am umplut cu bucatele de polistiren ca sa protejez cat de cat radacinile. In perioada in care au fost temperaturi de sub -7 grade am adus toti copaceii pe terasa (e o terasa deschisa, dar totusi ofera ceva protectie) si am incropit un fel de minicort dintr-o folie din material asemanator plasticului. N-am vrut sa aduc copaceii in casa (am o antecamera unde iarna sunt in jur de 10 grade) ca sa nu iasa din starea latenta. Au supravietuit cu bine, iar nectarinul a crescut vazand cu ochii. Arata ciudat: tulpina de vreo 6 cm si ramuri in jur de 60 cm (desigur, la un moment dat l-am transplantat intr-un ghiveci mai mare).
Hai sa-ti spun si despre caisi. Am pus pe 1 august anul trecut 4 samburi intregi (nu doar miezul) in dischete demachiante (le cumpar doar ca sa pun la incoltit samburi si seminte :) ) umezite si invelite in foile alimentara si le-am bagat imediat la frigider. Le-am controlat din cand in cand si, daca era nevoie, am mai picurat apa pe dischete. La sfarsitul lui decembrie trei dintre samburi aveau radacini intre 1 si aproape 3 cm. I-am mai lasat cateva saptamani in frigider, dupa care i-am pus in pamant. Au inceput sa creasca rapid in antecamera de care spuneam si, cum a dat putin caldura, i-am scos afara. Daca noaptea era prea frig (sub 6-7 grade cu plus), ii bagam in casa pana dimineata. Acum unul din ei, cel care a primit ghiveciul cel mai mare (i-am mutat pe toti in alte ghivece) are 80 cm. Nu am inca un loc in care sa-i pun in pamant.
In concluzie, daca ai sperante sa ai candva fructe (eu am, desi o vecina care are un cais de 3-4 ani crescut din sambure inca n-a vazut nici macar o floare de la el), ti-as recomanda sa lasi afara caisul si pe timpul iernii ca sa-si poata urma ciclul natural, dar sa-l protejezi de temperaturi scazute. Exista, desigur, riscul sa nu supravietuiasca, de aceea eu as strange cativa samburi in perioada asta si i-as pune afara in pamant, cum zice autorul videoclipului, ca sa beneficieze de un ciclu 100% natural, nu doar mimat, cum am facut eu.
Spor!

Thanks for the video. Very informative. Just so I'm clear, you DON'T remove the seed from the pit???? Doesn't this slow down the germination?
It's better to chill with the pit intact.- Dr. Evans
Would it be a faster process if you break the shell and put them in wet tissue and put in fridge ???
Very informative video. Do apricots also grow to be clones of the parent and do they need to be cold in the fridge to germinate?
Many plants produce seeds that are actually clones of themselves. The true seed dies out after fertilization and is replaced by the mother plant embryo. Dandelions and citrus ( Oranges) grow 99% true whereas many plant species may produce 50% true seed and 50% clones such as apricots and peaches, or 70/30 and so on. Most plant species produce 100% true seed. Yes, the peach seeds need about 2 months or more to chill in the fridge at around 0 to 3C or 30 to 35F in order to germinate normally. - Dr. Evans
great worthy video. However, how did you deal with fungus or you did not have this problem since the tree is in you glass house.
"When you are growing seedlings, your soil should be store-bought and sterile. You should put your home mix soil in an oven at 200- 300F or 100 to 150C for a couple of hours for sterilization. Use a clean pot and if you place the pot in a water-holding tray. A clean tray is a must and keep the potted seed well away from other established plants by a couple of feet or more ... - Dr. Evans
Hello. After I successfully germinated my seedling, I planted it in a pot indoors. Do you by any chance know what kind of light it needs? Or where I should put it if growing it indoors? Some sites say it needs to be in a shaded area and some say it needs full sunlight. It's still very fragile and has been a couple weeks since I put it in a pot. Yours look amazing! I'm really hoping mine works out!
Hi, sorry I missed your comment - full sun.
Thank you for a informative video. I have a question: will the tree grow taller or produce more stems if we cut all the fruits in the 1st year that they start producing fruit?
Yes for sure . Remove all except one or two fruit during the second year. - Dr. Evans
@@GoldStrawMedia Tks for answering my question. I'm trying to grow some this year in Toronto :)
Will it work if I plant the seed like you do during the season of late summer to early autumn (25-30 degree)?
Yes, in the garden, Be sure to mark the spot.
Trying to grow one in the uk whilsr the weather is good. Would you happen to know if they bonsai well?
We are not familiar with the bonsai process on this tree but it works well on other fruit trees.
@@GoldStrawMediaThanks for your reply. The good news is I managed to finally germinate a store bought nectarine. Had to crack the nut and remove the husk then place in a plastic container with wet kitchen roll and a lid, in a warm place. Only took 12 days or so to produce a root. For now I'll just let it do its thing and enjoy another fruit tree experience :)
Could please tell me, how long do you let the pit dry out and how long should they chill? If I start now drying the seed when will I plant them. Thanks!
Plant them right away 2-3 inches deep (lots of pits or seeds) in your garden. Leave then to overwinter and they should emerge from March to Mayas 3-4 inch shoots. Transplant ASAP to a permanent site in the garden. - Dr. Evans
Did you graft them at some point???
Hi , I’m wondering? A few weeks ago I cracked open 2 peach and 2 nectarine seeds. I put the actual seed in damp paper towel and then in a baggie. I placed them in the dark and today all for have sprouted roots. My question is this? Should I plant them in pots now? Or do I put them in the fridge ?
Thank you , your video was really great.
Plant the sprouted seed directly into the garden and cover with about an inch of moist soil. - Dr. Evans
Great Video, I'll try it this year! Grüße aus der 🌋Vulkan Eifel herüber!
Thanks for watching. Good Luck!
