Growing Guide
Step 1: Prepare the Seeds
Clean the peach pits and prepare the seeds for cold stratification. If working with intact pits, carefully handle them to avoid damaging the seed inside.

Step 2: Cold Stratification
Place the seeds in a slightly moist growing medium, such as clean sand or vermiculite. Keep them refrigerated at approximately 35–50°F for around 90–130 days, checking periodically for moisture and early sprouting.

Step 3: Plant the Seeds
Once the chilling period is complete, sow the seeds in well-drained soil. Peach seeds are commonly planted approximately 1.5 inches deep. Handle sprouted seeds carefully to protect young roots.
