It's easy and just takes a process of stratification and next thing you know you're growing peach trees from seed! My seedling peach trees have produced wonderfully for me in the past, though here in the tropics I have no idea how these trees are going to do. It will be a gardening experiment! Peaches and other stone fruit often produce good fruit from seed, unlike some other trees that have a lot more genetic variation. In this episode of Totally Crazy Easy Gardening, you'll learn all you need to know to start your own delicious and fast-growing seedling trees.

I took the pits out of the fridge today. All of the seeds I had removed from the hull sprouted! The fully intact pits did not. All of my pits were in a big plastic bag full of dirt. I'm gonna plant those suckers today. Thanks!
Congratulations and good work! The shelled ones often germinate better, though I've smashed some kernels opening pits in the past.
I smashed sooo many kernels. Good thing I had a lot to work with!
Crios731 did you have to keep adding water when they were in the fridge or am I supposed to leave them completly alone when they are in the fridge? Will they not dry out in the fridge?
I dampened the soil they were in before placing them in the fridge. Then I just left them alone for a few months. They stayed wet enough, so no need to add water. Mine were in a plastic bag instead of open containers.
did you leave your plastic bag slightly open, or completely sealed?
With all my experiments my wife has to put up with now she’s going to see cups of dirt in the fridge!!!!
@Templar I use a mini fridge ; ones` you usually find in hotel room; they keep a 12 C / 55 F degrees stable all round; good enough for me in Malta when temperature rises to 26 C / 80 F now (6th July. )
Lol
I got a used 3 foot mini wine fridge I redesigned and set up in my planting house/ green house/cloning house/ seed experiment lab. It can hold the seeds and a few bottles of wine.
Its ok I have wax worms in fridge , growing shrooms , germinating chestnuts and others like peers , and now I am gonna add my peaches
🤣
You're hilarious! I love it. "Eat the fruit." *Adam and Eve*
Hope mom won’t kick me when she sees my bag of dirt in the fridge 😂😂
Came here to learn how to germinate a peach pit and stayed just to hear you speak. You'd make a great narrator!!
Thank you, Jay. I have voiced audiobooks in the past - much appreciated.
This guys voice is golden
His voice is condescending
I am also quite the fan of his voice.
Sprouting something new is always so fun!
The guitar man is an important song in our family.
I watch for your personality. My husband and enjoy your shows more because they are fun.
I love the bonus of hearing you sing!
Thank you.
I need to try this, I never thought to cold hibernate to force the seeds to root. Thank you! I dont care if there is never any fruit, I want the little trees!
"If you're poor just take it for free" love it 🥰
If you carefully crack the pit, extract the seed and peel the seed you can germinate them in 14 days. Love the channel and managed to save my tomatoes with some of your other vids tips and tricks!
I got a nectarine that’s doing great in soil now after 14 days wet cloth method 🤙🏼
That's what I just was trying to tell them.
Love that vocal guitar solo! Worth watching to the end!😂
BRILLIANT!! Thank you! I thought I was going to have to break open the seeds for a minute there.
Your videos are hilarious, and naturally filled with a wealth of knowledge. Can't wait to try these now.
I love the ending song on this one, I open mouth laughed when you did the electric guitar at the end of guitar man. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, Glen.
This was awesome. Especially the dramatic music/painting going into eating the fruit. LOL. Anyway, Jonah totally tried to grow his own peach tree from a pit. Didn't work. But now we have some guidance. Thanks!
Heh. Thanks. Sometimes I've gotten peaches from the store with kernels inside the pits that are shriveled, making me think they're not being pollinated properly. Try again - he'll get it!
I guess I’m lucky as hell, my peach tree drops seeds and I get a few seedlings a year!
i open the stones of some nectarines and the seeds looked so dry and wrinkled i doubted they would be viable ,these fruit were bought from a shop and had likely been in cold storage and after 10 days they sprouted ! now the long process of growing a tree .
thanks dave
That's fantastic. Nectarines actually grow very fast. I had peaches (the same species) bloom in a year and a half.
I’ve never seen this method before. When I germinated my peach seed two years ago I cracked open the shell put the seed in a wet paper towel and Ziploc. Took about three weeks to a month to sprout. I’m near Daytona Beach and I have my first flower this year.
Thx for sharing 🖖🏼👽
Sometimes they will sprout readily because they have been chilled already in storage. Nice work.
you wet the paper towel only once ?
How long did it take for it to flower? Did you get any peaches? Hope so 🤞
Very nice. I have a couple of peach pits I will try this with. They are from a tree the neighbor has. The elderly lady that used to live there threw her kitchen garbage by her fence. On day she threw out a peach pit. Five years later, the new neighbors had a bumper crop of peaches!
That's fantastic!
@Issac The garbage/compost method was kinda how I grew my 4 nectarine trees. I was pulling these odd weeds out of my raised beds and one came up with a nectarine pit attached. The little light bulb went on in my head. I realized years back my wife had bought and planted a great nectarine tree which occasionally would produce huge crops of delicious fruit. I'd eat the fruit throw the pits in the compost pile. The compost got dumped in my raised beds and some of the pits said yeah this will work and grew. The only real work I did was moving them to 'better' places.
I'm going to have to watch the video on apples as I've put a bunch of rotten apples in the compost but never grown an apple tree.
Bless her!!!... 😪❤
Sorry you were not able get a fresh peach. I was able to pick a ripe one off my tree this morning. My favorite fresh picked fruit.
I am really enjoying this series too! I hope it doesn't stop at 30 days. ☺️
Thank you.
I enjoy your video for the informative tips but also for your quirky sense of humor. Thank you!
I was eating peaches from my neighbor's tree and I was just wondering if I could grow a peach tree from the pit. But...that INTRO, my DUDE. I'm hooked. I was going to get some work done but I should probably just go watch all your other videos instead.
I love to learn while being entertained. You crack me up! BIG LIKE!!
I love the If you're poor line....
You can tell he's smart because he ask and answers his own questions.
Well Mr. David I really don't know what we would do without you. Just nuts your are. Nutty as you are . You keep me comeing back for more. Just keep it up. You the MAN. Loveing it Thanks
Alright, you got yourself a new follower
I just peeled and sliced up a bunch of peaches to make jam with and I really wanted to try to do this. Thanks for the great video!! :D
Oh myyy 🤦🏽♀️ I thought I had to take seeds out of the shells first. 🤷🏽♀️. Since I live in the Caribbean, I guess I will try giving the seeds some months in a bag with my other seed trays to give it a try since we don't know what winter temperatures are 😆... Hopefully I will get at least 1 white flesh peach seed sprouting 🍑. Wish me luck !! 🤞🏽
How did it go? Were you able to sprout these in Caribbean temperatures?
You can probably get them to sprout and grow but more than likely will never produce fruit since the tree itself requires a certain number of chill hours of temperatures at or below a certain temperature for a certain number of hours although I don't know the exact numbers. I live in a climate with long hot summers and mostly mild winters but we usually get at least one freeze a year (sometimes a hard freeze in the single digits) that prevents growing most tropical plants in the ground such as avocados or mangoes that require more than one season to produce, but it doesn't stay cold enough for long enough to grow things such as apples or cherries since their chill requirements are longer but peaches can be done effectively here since it does actually get cool enough for them. I hope this makes sense, sorry for the long explanation.
Wow, you are good...at this gardening stuff! 😁👏🏻 I’m so glad to have found your channel. I’ve seen a couple video’s now and have to compliment you on how well you explain things. Very easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
agreed!💯❤️
I never managed to germinate whole shell in fridge; I left them for four month; not even one had any sign of positivere result; best result is crack the nut; leave the seed for a two or three days in water to make it easy to peel the second cover from the seed; now just cut with a blade just about two or three millimitre 3/10 of a centimeter from the rounded area (Not the Pointed Tip) . Place in clean WHITE tissues (No colour or print on tissues) put in plastic plastic seal bags, spray water to damp and put indoor in a lighted place (No direct sun) for four to five weeks should be enough to pot the seed. 75% positive results.
Excellent video! Can't wait to start growing my own peaches!
I like the idea of turning gardening into a heavy metal death hobby.
Subbed as soon as Carl Orff's O Fortuna came on for "eat the fruit." Perfectly done. Yay!!!
Great personality, great information, you're definitely Keeping America Great 💯
Thank you. I didn't expect that ending. LOL I totally remember that song. You nailed it! ha ha
Stumbled on this and realized it’s pure gold! Love the knowledge, the sense of humor, and the song!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you.
What is the song?
So excited for peach season now! Thank you!!!
Awesome.
Had my second peach today, yummy
Wow!! Exactly what I have been looking for! So happy that you did this David! 🥰
Thank you David! I tried cracking the pit to get the seed but kept destroying way too many seeds. This method will work much better.
I cracked peach pits by holding the pit on its side with pliers and hitting with a hammer. Holding with pliers helped a lot.
Ok, this was kind of great... That ending...PERFECTO! ;-)
Thanks for such an informative and very entertaining video.
DAVID LOVE IT!! FINISH THE SONG!!! PLEASE!?
Bless you for kindness teaching us amazing man
Fruits are getting expensive. I want to start my own nectarine grove, tysm for posting!
Instant like after the "first you eat the fruit " joke 😂
Going to do peach
plum. two with hull, two without. I'll see what happens. Thanks!
This is fantastic, thank you from temperate Johannesburg South Africa!
Thanks, Philip.
I broke mine open lol now I see your video
Works both ways.
You're terrific. Love your sense of humor. Thank!!
Thank you, Sherry.
Good easy to understand instant instructions, funny jokes and even goofy music I can emulate to annoy my family and friends! For what more can a person ask?
Thanks, John.
I love it! Very educational and entertaining! Especially the song at the end! Definitely subscribed!
Messing with us with that song sat the end, but very good. Thanks for the tip. Time to soil the fridge!
Omg my boyfriend is going to be 🤬 when he sees a bag of dirt in the fridge 🤣. I have a peach tree I bought this year tho and I would love to propagate it instead of having to purchase more.
Thank you...love your musical talents!
Duuuude!!! Thank you. I have been failing for months. I have the best peaches on earth near my house. I want my own tree. Thank you!!!!
Awesome!
@@davidthegood LOL and I have peaches growing out of everywhere! I think the local bats did me a favour so I have second peach tree on the other side of my house that is already bearing fruit, and I check our original tree and it has about 3 others under it starting out that are just under 1m high already. Birds gifted me a thriving passionfruit vine on the corner of my garden too! I think while unreliable wildlife are the best at starting fruit.
so we have a Floridaking that is apparently from another planet. it's been through absolute hell since we bought it about in 2010... we planted it on our original property in Feb. that year and it was immediately damaged by some calves who pushed the protective fence into the trunk which gouged it up.
then they ate the leaves.
then later that summer we moved and i was NOT leaving the peach tree. my mom dug it up, shoved it in a feed sack and left it in my yard (i was busy unpacking and that was as far as she was willing to contribute lol) it sat there for two days before we found a place to plant it. i just knew it was going to die because..... it was summer... there was NO dirt around the roots. for two days.
But it lived!!! and once it was established and bouncing back my horse decided to take a great big bite out of the trunk (it was still recovering from the fence and calf damage)
in spite of that, it lived and thrived. AND it made peaches the following year. but, strangely, it produced flowers in December and did not lose them in the January frosts.
then the next year it made more, and more and more.... and it started getting gnarly and developed a lean to the east. i mentioned to my husband that we should probably prune it. he said NO. "it's FINE!!! it makes peaches and that's all it needs to do! if you prune it it might die!! DO NOT PRUNE!!"
ok.
so it has never been pruned (except for moments late at night when i sneak out there with my loppers to cut off the obviously dead branches)
you can't mow around this tree because the branches sprawl all over and hang so low. and since hurricane michael it developed an even worse lean and is now propped up with a piece of 4x4, especially right now because of all the peaches on it.
It still blooms in Winter and never had a bad crop. I have bought several Floridakings since then and not one has behaved this way. in fact three outright died. #2 had potential. i got it because i was so impressed with their hardiness.. it was planted the year after we moved, without the trauma. it made fruit but more like a normal peach, it followed the rules. two years later it developed some kind of white fluffy bug infestation and died. it was only twenty yards from the other one and i was afraid we would lose both... but it was fine. no bug attacks, no blights.
the others didn't make it past the first year. the one we planted three or four years ago has yet to produce even a flower (because someone doesn't believe in pruning and hasn't accepted that we just have one weird peach tree) two years ago my hubby got mad at it and tried to chop it down but got distracted and never finished the job. surprise surprise it finally produced its first flowers (but they fell off) this past fall he said he was going to finish the job taking it down. he was tired of it taking up space.... but got distracted again. and wouldn't you know, it actually has fruit! they're still small and green. #1 is loaded and dragging the ground.
We have two others that were planted last summer and this January. Last Summer came to us with ONE blossom. it made ONE peach and hubby ate it. This year it again has ONE peach.... i haven't even looked at the other one. it's still establishing itself.. but i am very tempted to give it a good whack with my hatchet, yank all the leaves off, snatch it out of the ground and leave it laying there for two days before replanting it on the other end of the farm just to see if i can recreate previous success......
As for #1.... i have tried to get seeds from it but when I cracked them open they were shriveled and paper thin. but maybe i stopped looking too soon. there are soooooooo many peaches on it that it's daunting. but I REALLY hate to lose it. they don't live forever...and i will probably cry and have a memorial service when it finally dies and have something artistic made from the wood..
but i still hold out hope that i will some day be able to get a baby from it.
then again it's a weird tree..... it might outlive us all.
Very Awesome! thankyou for doing this David
You bet. Thank you.
thank you for sharing your growing knowledge .
Thank you for sharing!
Thx for the serenade at the end.
Thanks so much for sharing. God Bless You Always ♡ from texas
You bet. Thank you.
Thanks David i think i too might try this experiment
Nice one! Giving it a go right now .
Good luck!
You'll now have to cover the Skatman. Digging the solo!
Excellent presentation 👌✌️👍. We love you too 💖💞🌈 thank you
Good work. Here are some more tips:
If you live in a place with warm, tropical climate, you can crack open the pit and plant the seed directly. That greatly reduces germination time. You won't even need to stratified the seed.
I subbed because you are smart and generous! Even though the loud music makes me crazy!
Love your music!!!
Cool. I'll start potting those pits tonight. I guess I can forego keeping the pots in the fridge for months, as it is now Summer.
You're amazing man!😍 thanks for this video just generating some plants in UK and I've got 4 UK apple trees that I've germinated from supermarket apples(delicious ones from Kent county) I fancy to germinate oranges and nectarines and plums, so this film helped me a lot! I live the way you think the nature way and create the natural mimic condition for our plants, I definitely follow that and put my two nectarines seeds to the fridge :)
Fantastic! Thank you.
2 months ago, I put some peach seeds into the fridge and waited for them to grow some roots. 2 weeks ago, the first seed started to grow a root! I then put it into the soil and a week later, the shoot appeared. Now it's growing steadily inside my house for the winter and it's going to be put outside next spring!
Great work!
Very cool! Tks! Really enjoy your work!
Loved the video
Just what I needed
Awesome! I'm definitely going to try this now.
I found these seeds always sprout in my compost pile for some reason , maybe try that to.
This video is enjoyable to watch 😁😁 very funny 😁😁 thank you!!!!
You are a HOOT and VERY informative, thank you.
Thank you, Mark.
Wow... I punched in how to germinate a nectarine. And thought you vid was being narrated 🤦🏻♀️😂 thanks so much for the vid..
Very funny and informing. Nice to know the percentage rate of success for these seeds.
Very impressed by list
Thank you for sharing I will try this
Hey im in the prosess of trying this I started about a month ago and I left them outisde because its winter and perfect for the process
Good demonstration thanks
Hey man I first discovered you when I found an article that you wrote about the citrus seedling you grew and Your friends avocado that he got from his dying friend Well I decided to push harder and I planted a lot of different fruit varieties from lychee to lemon to apples etc. And now I have 10 baby dragon fruit and a baby lemon tree both are about a year old and I can’t wait for them to get older and I might be trying pomegranates and Pluto’s soon
dig that number at the end. you should add full on music videos to your channel, you got the gift, kid
Thank you, Kregg.
thank you for this info. blessings
You are very welcome. Thank you for stopping by.
Was looking on how to germinate peach pits. Had to give you a thumbs up for the Bread "Guitar Man" cover.
Thank you. Heh.
Thanks so much for the video David! I’m trying to grow nectarines from seed for the first time. Do you need to dry the nectarine seeds out first and remove the outer shell before covering in soil and putting into the fridge?
I live in Antigua and will try this ASAP!
🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬
I think you are hilarious! Thanks for all the info! I enjoyed it!
Thank you.
Nice. I will try it.
Thanks, for advice well i was looking 4 a video that will help me to how to grow them, a peach grows on my pot
I can’t even believe you know the song guitar man! I love your spoofy garden version!!!🤗🎶
Thank you.
Ready to try it out
New to the channel.. love your video! Going to try to germinate this nectarin as it was soo delicious..
The song at the end of the video was a real treat!!
I lovve you too ! Thank you for your cool video. Im about to grow my peaches (in Canada)
