| For you, best way is to bury it about 4 inches deep in summer & forget it. It will likely germinate in spring, but will take several years to fruit, and the fruit will likely be nothing like the peach it came from. If you want to grow it in a container. Bury the seed in soil that drains well & put it in your garage, making sure it doesn't dry out over the winter, it will likely germinate in spring, also. Alternate method with refrigerator stratification: put pit in zip lock bag with enough good soil or coarse sand to cover. The soil should be just barely moist. The soil should be sandy rather than dark organic type. Put the zip lock bag in your refrigerator (temperature 34 F to 42 F). It will generally take 2 to 3 months to see growth. Transplant to a pot once the root is a 1/2 or more in length. Some peach varieties germinate easily, some slowly, some not at all. Al |
