How to Grow Peach Trees from Peach Pits

By Family & Relationships Last updated Sunday, June/02/2024

1). Wash and scrub the peach pit under tap water and dry overnight. This removes all the fleshy material from the pit. Molding can occur if allowed to remain.
2). Store the dried pit in a plastic bag in your refrigerator. The pit should be nearly dry to avoid molding, though condensation in the bag is essential. Keep stored until mid winter.
3). Remove the peach pit from the refrigerator and soak in water for three to five hours. Place the pit in slightly moistened soil, within a plastic bag. Fertilizer at this stage is not necessary. Return to the refrigerator. Rooting should begin in six weeks.
4). Plant the rooting pit indoors once the root is at least a half inch long. Once the chance for frost has past, you can plant outdoors. Plant the peach pit four inches deep in moist soil using a basic fertilizer. This should be planted in a sunny location. The position of the peach pit will not matter. You should see the sprout by late spring!
