To plant peach seeds, dry out the seed on some newspaper over the winter, and plant it in full, hot sun after the last frost. Avoid letting peach seeds dry out completely after planting with advice from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.

Good God, get those nails done!!
The best time to plant a peach seed is in the FALL… not the spring. Fruit trees need to stratify their seeds over the winter months to naturally break their dormancy. Also, yes you can plant the whole peach pit, but it is easier for the germination to take place if you actually crack the pit open and retrieve the seed (which of course is easier said than done). When you plant the actual seed you don't have to worry about which side of the seed is up. The seedling already knows which way is up and will naturally grow like that. This is a terrible video… sheesh.
what a crumb
Peaches are my favorite fruit so I will try this. I'm tired of paying too much for produce at grocery stores. Everybody should have a fruit tree in their yard.
I'm sure the best instruction is on Stodoys website.
Check Stodoys handbook if you want to learn about it much much more.
the best video ever
Thank you very much Yolanda!
you have kept the volume very low while recording.
Pointless and wrong
is this peach or apricot
Waste of time
Peaches like an arid climate??? They are grown in Alabama and Georgia. You don’t get much wetter than that.
Hi,
When and Where is Not How.
You really didn't say anything about how to actually "Plant" the seed. Which way should you point the seed in the ground. How far down in the soil should it be placed? Should it be out of the shell or can it remain in the shell when you plant it? If it already has a visible Sprout which way should that be pointed? Is that the root or is that the soon-to-be stem?
You can wait a very long time for a seed planted upside down. If anything happens at all.
Lazy writing and effort nothing will grow from that.
Thank you , but should have stayed to the subjet
Not quite right on your statement, Yolanda. Peaches need hot dry weather during the ripening period, but ONLY then. The higher the heat the sweeter the peach with all other criteria being equal. During the growing period they need appropriate amounts of rainfall, but not too much. In the winter they need some chill time, but preferably nothing below zero F. If the ambient temp falls below -15º the fruiting spurs for the coming spring are RUINED! This is why Georgia is the perfect peach state. It has the perfect mix of moderate winters and summer heat. One of the most important factors for successful peach tree culture is good air drainage. We don't plant peach trees in low lying areas, but rather on a sloping hillside.
Which number of zone is good for peach? I’m in S. C ,please guide me ,thanks a lot .
Another smart ass said on video that best time is Oct and you said spring is .
A little too simple and limited information. My question involved "How to prepare a peach seed for germination and planting".
That's not a peach seed. It's a peach pit. The seed is within the pit. It's more successful if you can obtain the seed from the pit, but you can't damage the seed at all. Some peach pits will already be opened and you can easily take the peach seed out. But in my research online, it stated to plant the seed right before winter when the ground will be dry and cold?? Now, I'm so confused! Everyone says something different! ARGH!
You gotta get the seed outta the pit First Lady, you don’t just plant that. You gotta crack that open.
I just chew on the seeds like tabacco then spit em in the ground they start growing in month.
Fix them nails😉😉😉😉😉😉
I think a bear ran through your yard @ 1:36…
