I learned that using paper this way is one of the worst ways of starting seeds, not everyone has those sofisticated materials like this hydrogen thing, so it's bad to suggest using such industrial thing. Instead the best method is to simply wash the seeds in water and keep them hydrated in a dark spot, every day 1 or 2 times at least. In the paper it's impossible to have success becouse it traps the mold and will make all the seeds rot... not root :P
@@alessandromariani3015 I have always had great success with the paper towel method, so I will disagree with your statement it's the worst and impossible to grow in. I use this method with many different types of seeds with success. Hydrogen peroxide is not a necessity. There are other things that can be used instead, like cinnamon. Seeds can mold/rot in any medium used to start seeds, like paper towel or soil. Thanks for sharing your method.
@@vesgardens well not mine, if you keep it static it will indeed produce mold, if you change the water it's gonna be mold free. i never had success with the paper towel, i wasted 2 years of trials.
Following your technique, I wrapped watermelon seeds, peach seeds and cherry seeds on the 25th of July. I just checked my watermelons seeds and they are sprouting and they look great! I sprinkled just a lil bit of cinnamon on them as a precaution and put them back in the window sill! I would add pic of I could.
I tried my first hand at growing peach trees from seeds last year. I did great with my apple seeds. They are 4 years old now. I have 3 lemon trees I grew from my grocery store Lemons. They are 5 years old now. And only 1 out of the 3 peach seeds grew. It's a year old and 2 foot tall. And I just planted it in my yard. I throughly enjoy growing plants regardless of the outcome of fruit. I currently also have 2 pineapple plants about 2 years old. Thank you for this video. I'm hoping to grow another peach seed. And just put it in the paper towel.
@vesmagardens I haven't gotten even 1 blossom yet. But they are maybe 5 foot tall. I stunted my apple trees growth. By keeping them in 1 gallon planters and taking them inside for the winter. Apple trees love to go dormant for winter. So I didn't do them justice by not planting them.
Also, we tasted fruit from at least six trees we grew to maturity from seed - all the fruit were delicious! A little variation in shape and color, but all good.
I knew I had to sub when you said you'd been hoarding pits cuz I came here with literally like five months of aggressively hoarded peach pits looking like a crazy squirrel-lady and you made me feel safe and seen. 😂 There's a method to the madness!!
Awesome! I have germinated a lot of seeds this way. Not sure if anyone has commented, but try sprinkling the seeds with cinnamon to control mold. Can't wait to see your updates! =)
Great call, another thing I do when I grow outdoors is use unflavored (I go with the cheapest) tabacco and i run it through a siv and sprinkle on plants if bugs start being an issue 😊 (not promoting smoking or anything just works in my experience)
I just started gardening very recently. I have a compost ball and I only have a few successful plants. Two young blueberry bushes, two sweet pepper plants and one very enthusiastic tomato plant. I'm very new to this but I just found your channel and I can already tell this is where I need to be getting my information. You explain things in a way that is very easy to understand. Thank you so much.
One of the best videos on growing anything that I have ever seen! Your attitude is awesome and I hope contagious! I appreciate this very much and I am just about to get started and try my hand at this! Blessings from Texas! ☺️🦋
starting a peach tree this morning for my indoor garden! so far my apple and citrus trees are doing great so i fifure why not go all out lol 😅. Great video! 💯😊
@vesgardens thanks 👍 been at cool side of room temperature and it's showing some signs of germination so warming it up and putting it under the grow lights with the rest of my garden for the winter! 🏡
Beautiful. My cold stratification has not work ever ! Great to find this educational video cause I just harvested ( I need the seeds of the Donut Peaches, Yellow Nectarines & White Nectarines we don’t have in Oregon as far as I know & they our favorite fruits ) seeds cut up the meat in quarters and stick them in the freezer to juice or make smoothies later . I believe you just gave me the best lecture . Bless up .
Thank you for this information, it’s my first try at germination with peach seed. I’m in northern Ohio and our summers can be brutal , but I this that best for fruit of it. Can’t wait to try. 💕
Hi. I'd recommend sprinkling cinnamon on the seeds in the wet paper towel before you pop it in the fridge. Never had an issue with the cherry tree seeds getting mouldy that way. Might be worth a shot :) thanks for the video. It was super helpful in a number of ways!
Man, this is so helpful, thanks. I live in Scotland and have a bad habit of trying to grow seeds from shop bought fruit. The pomegranate was particularly heartbreaking. Wasted like months trying to grow some gorgeous white peach pits in the fridge, I will try your method very soon and will at least know what's what after a few weeks. Ah last thing, I was too scared of smashing my seed along with the pit, so I dremel sawed around that bad boy to weaken it somewhat to make for lighter smashing.
I'm glad this video helped, David. I hope your seeds germinate and grow nicely for you! I will say, the peach seeds aren't like cherries. You can easily smash a cherry seed trying to get it open like this, but I dont think I've ever smashed a peach seed. If you decide to try it, just make sure to hit the side of the pit. I'd like to think there's a greater chance of smashing the seed on the face of the pit but 🤷🏾♀️
Ive always wanted a peach tree, but getting them from Lowes for like 50$ has just never been a great oppertunity for me. I was always told that growing seeds from grocery store plants wasnt possible, and I was sceptical one of your videos was giving me false hope, but after seeing the rest of your channel im so eager!
Growing from grocery store is absolutely possible! If you don't want to do the paper towel method or it doesn't work for you then just throw the seeds in some rich fertile soil and see what happens. I've done that with a couple stubborn seeds and they grew. Good luck!
@@vesgardens oh awesome!! Have you ever gotten any fruit out of the trees when growing grocery store ones? I've heard some say you don't get fruit and it's made me paranoid😅
@@magicpotion7252 no, my trees are only about a year old now so no fruit yet. There have been other people in the comments and online that have said they've gotten fruit though! And that it was good! That gave me hope. Hope it gives you some too!
3:32 Oh hey you know if you kept some fish in your house in a 20 gallon tank once a week when you do water. Hanged you can use that water to feed the plants and every 5 months when you clean your filters you can use all that poopy filter water and fertilizer my plants absolutely LOVE IT ❤
Most of the peaches i have grown from pits were actually almost spot on to the original fruit. My apples on the other hand were very mixed. My citrus was pretty close as well. It all just depends on what pollen it gets and whether or not the original was hybridized or some kind of special crossing as well. Most of the peaches and nectarines were amazing though.
Thanks for the vid, very helpful! I always heard that peaches are the one seed that you can hope to get true to seed, not 100% guaranteed but better chance than most other fruits.
Thanks for the video. My question is after germination and planting in small containers are you growing them inside until the following spring or is it better to let them go through a cold cycle outdoors? I'm thinking about starting now and moving them to a poly tunnel for the winter after they are well started. Thank you !
I grew them inside until it was warm enough to put them outside. I was afraid of the seedlings getting cold shock and dying. I'll be leaving them outside this winter, covered though.
@@vesgardens В общем, попробовал прорастить семена нектарина Вашим методом. И действительно получилось с первого раза! Раньше никогда не получалось, а теперь есть семечко с красивым аккуратным корешком. Теперь интересно, что из этого вырастет!)
one other step that improves germination is scratching the cover off. this also has the same growth inhibitors as the pit just less. i get basically 100% germination as long as the seeds are fresh this way. also i just stick them in the soil in a pot paper towel isnt needed also to prevent mold issues one trick i learned that works good is to wet the paper towel, and then squeeze it dry until you get almost no drops out of it and its just moist instead of wet. i basically get no mold this way.
Personally, I do this whenever I have peach seeds. However, I will keep the seedlings indoors during winter then wait until to put them outside and leave them out during winter once they've grown since the trees do need those cold periods.
Indoor I like to use coconut coir and perlite, shale if I have it, but not required. I usually do a 50-50 mix of coconut coir and perlite, depending on the plant I'll add less or more of either. For outdoor mixes I mix bagged potting mix with coconut coir, perlite, compost, leaves.
So you dont pull off the thin brown coating from the seed? I have seen people do it both ways but they never gave an update on the different success rates. Have you tried it both ways? And if so which one did better for you?
I helped my grandfather plant a peach tree we got from a neighbor in high school, now there are so many peaches on the ground that we couldn't get to in time the chickens are going crazy eating them. I'm going to plant twenty or thirty and over winter them in pots to either sell or give away in the spring.
if you live somewhere hotter like the south they will do fine. peaches are from central asia the winters there are long and tough like the midwest. thats why they need stratification in nature but for milder climate they dont need it.
Hi, I have enjoyed your videos.😊 However, I have a couple of questions about your soil mix. I’m having a hard time finding the “shale”. Where do you buy yours and what is the brand name? Also is “Coco Coir Brick- Coconut Soil” the same as the Coconut Coir that you use in your potting mix? Thank you!
Hi! I'm glad you've enjoyed my videos! The shale isn't necessary, but I will say perlite is a must have for me though! Coconut coir brick/soil is typically the same as the coconut coir I use. Just different names!
did you need a cold period first for these, i really dont want to wait 4 months with my seed in the fridge, its not like i planned on them fruiting the first year anyway. Thanks for this
I kept them wrapped up in a paper towel for over a month before I cracked them open. If I wanted to save them, I'd just wrap them, leave them and open when ready. Some seeds may not make it though.
I grew a peach tree from seed. It is about 2 years old now or less. It is already about 4 ft tall. However, I live in the true tropics so I don't expect it to fruit but I am ever hopeful it might adapt or we might discover a way to make it adapt.
Nice! I hope you can find a way to make it adapt. If you find a way to mimic the cold period let me know. I'd be interested to know how you did it in the tropics!
What have you tried? I've had a couple seeds that I thought either rotted or took too long to germinate so I assumed it wasn't viable ended up germinating after I threw them in my "compost pot".
One of the trees died. I ended up dumping some moldy seeds in my worm pot and I think one or two of them germinated. I can make a dedicated video. What all do you want to know?
Oh no! I would love to see a video on the ones in the worm pot. Also, a video on things you would’ve done differently. If you added any fertilizer. Did you keep them inside or put them outside? Stuff like that.
@@youngflourishing4632 just uploaded! ua-cam.com/video/E1GCbFaK1fA/v-deo.htmlsi=i3YFyaw8KlLmQHMu I'm glad you asked for an update cause these trees were really on the road to death! 🥴
hi Ves, i just ate 2 peaches and with both of them, the hard wood case of the seed was broken when i was biting into the peach, so i took the seed from the inside and noticed it was soft. i put both seeds in water, and the both sank right away, are they viable? im thinking since they are very soft maybe they are bad
In my experience the soft seeds aren't good. I haven't gotten them to germinate and sometimes if you squeeze them the insides just ooze out. I've recently gotten some peaches like that too smh. The seeds should be nice and firm.
I did this with peaches and donut peaches and apricots and most of them rotted. I put the rest into pots of soil once i realized this. I use this method for citrus seeds all the time but for stone fruits it didn't pan out like i had hoped. There is a Peach tree growing out of my compost bins that I need to move this winter when it goes dormant. Go figure, the pit I wasn't even trying to germinate grew into a beautiful tree.
I follow the same process to germinate my winter squash seeds. The only thing I would add is to use non-chlorinated water. You can use tap water that is chlorinated if you just leave it in an open container for 24 hours. The chlorine will out-gas in that time.
I read that cold stratification can occur while the plant is still in the grocery store, depending on where/how long they were kept prior to sale. I wonder if that's why these germinated successfully without that step?
Sooooo I got some peach seeds and I was told I had to remove the “brown” skin on the seed then plant it in the soil… I see you didn’t do that did I totally screw up??
No, you didn't. The brown skin is the protective coating of the seed. I've noticed that sometimes in certain areas of the seed that brown skin got torn off the seed started to rot in that spot quicker. Just keep an eye on your seeds, check on them to make sure they're still firm.
I got 3 out of 5 seeds to sprout with the cold way , but then after I put them in soil, after a few week , the 8-9” sprout just die .. so where did I go wrong ??
They were probably stored in cold storage if they were bought from the supermarket or greengrocer therefore they may have even started germinating before they were bought. My grandfather on my mothers side has had good luck growing peaches & nectarines which were sown from seeds which were from store bought peach 🍑 or nectarine. My dad has a white peach 🍑 tree which was self sown but he hasn't got any real great fruit off them & the birds still peck at the fruit even when netting is placed over the tree ! It was a self sown peach 🍑 tree which was transplanted.!
I really would like to try to speed, but I have a hard time takes so long and I guess I love patience been patient with avocados and I’ve tried so many and only got one with good results. Maybe I don’t have enough sun maybe I have too unfortunately, the bad side of not being able to get Roots on my PJs in the fashion world frustrates me
Some seeds just aren't viable and some are stubborn. For seeds that just don't grow when using the paper towel method, I just throw them in my compost container and sometimes one or two may end up sprouting. I can't remember, but I think Avocados have taken about a month at least to sprout for me.

I don't. The brown skin is like a protective barrier. Sometimes when I remove it or a piece gets torn off when handling the exposed part rots fast.

Does cinnamon on the paper towel prevent fungus?
It could help. Cinnamon has antifungal properties.
I've heard that you can sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon powder to the paper towel to control mold.
Do you continue to water the paper towel during the 19 days?
Only if it feels dry!
Would peaches grow in tropical weather, thank you
I believe peach trees need a cold season, so it would probably be best to find a low chill variety that can tolerate your weather and environment.
Does not stratifying affect cold hardiness in their first winter, or otherwise impact their growth?
Mine survived the winter just fine!
if you live somewhere hotter like the south they will do fine. peaches are from central asia the winters there are long and tough like the midwest. thats why they need stratification in nature but for milder climate they dont need it.

I kept them wrapped up in a paper towel for over a month before I cracked them open. If I wanted to save them, I'd just wrap them, leave them and open when ready. Some seeds may not make it though.
I grew a peach tree from seed. It is about 2 years old now or less. It is already about 4 ft tall. However, I live in the true tropics so I don't expect it to fruit but I am ever hopeful it might adapt or we might discover a way to make it adapt.
Nice! I hope you can find a way to make it adapt. If you find a way to mimic the cold period let me know. I'd be interested to know how you did it in the tropics!
I can't get peach seeds to germ. I've got almost every fruit tree I want but Bartlett pears and peaches are a miss here.
What have you tried? I've had a couple seeds that I thought either rotted or took too long to germinate so I assumed it wasn't viable ended up germinating after I threw them in my "compost pot".
I've tried the paper towel method , I've tried the lemon seed method, the apple method. Nothing is bringing peach sprouts
@@joshholschuh1847 that's interesting. I'm wondering if they're sterile 🤔
When peach trees grow from seed, should they be pollinated? No flower will actually turn into a fruit.
Hope you tell. |
How do you pollinate a seed? That makes no sense
Most peach trees are self pollinating when their mature trees..
The advice could be translated into other stone fruit and nut seeds as well.
I know it’s been 3 months. Do you have a update?
One of the trees died. I ended up dumping some moldy seeds in my worm pot and I think one or two of them germinated. I can make a dedicated video. What all do you want to know?
Oh no! I would love to see a video on the ones in the worm pot. Also, a video on things you would’ve done differently. If you added any fertilizer. Did you keep them inside or put them outside? Stuff like that.
@vesmagardens thank you for responding!! 💜🌸
@@youngflourishing4632 you're welcome! I'll come back to this comment with a link to the video once it's done.
@@youngflourishing4632 just uploaded! ua-cam.com/video/E1GCbFaK1fA/v-deo.htmlsi=i3YFyaw8KlLmQHMu I'm glad you asked for an update cause these trees were really on the road to death! 🥴
I heard a bit of cinnamon powder prevents the molding
hi Ves, i just ate 2 peaches and with both of them, the hard wood case of the seed was broken when i was biting into the peach, so i took the seed from the inside and noticed it was soft. i put both seeds in water, and the both sank right away, are they viable? im thinking since they are very soft maybe they are bad
In my experience the soft seeds aren't good. I haven't gotten them to germinate and sometimes if you squeeze them the insides just ooze out. I've recently gotten some peaches like that too smh. The seeds should be nice and firm.
Just something to remember. A seed that grows but doesn't give good tasting fruit is known the next year as root stock for grafting!
What does that mean
You can use it to grow another, better tasting variety, on it.
Oh I remember doing this when I was a child when I was in 5th grade
I did this with peaches and donut peaches and apricots and most of them rotted. I put the rest into pots of soil once i realized this. I use this method for citrus seeds all the time but for stone fruits it didn't pan out like i had hoped. There is a Peach tree growing out of my compost bins that I need to move this winter when it goes dormant. Go figure, the pit I wasn't even trying to germinate grew into a beautiful tree.
Ha, I buried peach seeds I thought were too moldy/rotted and a couple of them grew. Funny how that works.

Of course no matter What and how life treats you Bad, u just must keep Fighting to survive... that's what the Seed did😊
I follow the same process to germinate my winter squash seeds. The only thing I would add is to use non-chlorinated water. You can use tap water that is chlorinated if you just leave it in an open container for 24 hours. The chlorine will out-gas in that time.
I try to when I remember. Thanks for the tip!
I read that cold stratification can occur while the plant is still in the grocery store, depending on where/how long they were kept prior to sale. I wonder if that's why these germinated successfully without that step?
That's interesting. Didn't know that. It's possible!
Yughurt contains bacteria that naturally fight mold. Where I live there are commercial houseplant fungicides based on this principle.
Interesting. I may look into that! Thanks.
when to germinate peach pit
I germinate them at anytime, but fall/early winter, spring
Sooooo I got some peach seeds and I was told I had to remove the “brown” skin on the seed then plant it in the soil… I see you didn’t do that did I totally screw up??
No, you didn't. The brown skin is the protective coating of the seed. I've noticed that sometimes in certain areas of the seed that brown skin got torn off the seed started to rot in that spot quicker. Just keep an eye on your seeds, check on them to make sure they're still firm.
i put cinnamon it prevents mold
Your words have gold laces thru them
I got 3 out of 5 seeds to sprout with the cold way , but then after I put them in soil, after a few week , the 8-9” sprout just die .. so where did I go wrong ??
It depends on what kind of soil they were in, where you kept them and things like that. Sounds like root rot to me.
a lot of store bought fruit , have already spent weeks or months stored in cold conditions , so are pre stratified
They were probably stored in cold storage if they were bought from the supermarket or greengrocer therefore they may have even started germinating before they were bought.
My grandfather on my mothers side has had good luck growing peaches & nectarines which were sown from seeds which were from store bought peach 🍑 or nectarine.
My dad has a white peach 🍑 tree which was self sown but he hasn't got any real great fruit off them & the birds still peck at the fruit even when netting is placed over the tree !
It was a self sown peach 🍑 tree which was transplanted.!
Nice! How long did the trees take to produce fruit?
The one that gives me issues is lavender, is difficult to germinate
Yeah, I can't help you there. I gave up on trying to germinate lavender lol
A good sprinkle of ground cinnamon inside after you wet the paper towel will prevent mold from developing!!
Molim vas omogucite prevod na Srpski jezik !
I'll look into this! Thanks for letting me know.
Ok, you are now able to translate this video and the most recent videos into Serbian language!
Cut the paper towel to the roots to free them
Try a little sprinkle of cinnamon on your seeds in the paper towel to keep mold from growing
If I remember this, I'll try it. Thanks, Jerry!
I really would like to try to speed, but I have a hard time takes so long and I guess I love patience been patient with avocados and I’ve tried so many and only got one with good results. Maybe I don’t have enough sun maybe I have too unfortunately, the bad side of not being able to get Roots on my PJs in the fashion world frustrates me
Some seeds just aren't viable and some are stubborn. For seeds that just don't grow when using the paper towel method, I just throw them in my compost container and sometimes one or two may end up sprouting. I can't remember, but I think Avocados have taken about a month at least to sprout for me.
I’ll be trying a split germinating batch, with half being stratified, so I can make my own conclusion
Good luck!
Use cinnamon to prevent molding
