Best temperature for peach pits is 34 to 40°F (1 to 4°C). Check pit weekly and re-moisten paper towel as needed. When sprouted, sow pit 2-inches deep in flower pot with organic potting mix. Continue growing on a sunny window sill until risk of frost has passed. Then gradually introduce plant to outdoor growing conditions where it will remain.

Attempt growing a peach tree from seed with these simple steps: Eat the peaches! Enjoy eating any peaches you wish to try growing. Save the pits. Prepare the germination baggies. Prepare some moist peat moss in a zip-top baggie. Bury the peach pits inside the zip-seal baggie. Make sure they are fully surrounded by moist peat or soil mix.

Plant the peach pit about 3 to 4 inches (8-10 cm.) deep and then cover it with about an inch (2.5 cm.) or so of straw or similar mulch for overwintering. Water during planting and then only when dry. By spring, if the peach was any good, you should see sprouting and a new peach seedling will grow.
