Planting Instructions

• Chill requirement (stratification): Cold stratify cleaned seeds for about 90–120 days at 1–5°C (34–41°F) in slightly moist medium. Do not let the seeds dry out during this period.
• Sowing time: After stratification, sow in late winter to spring; in warm climates you can sow in autumn outdoors for natural chilling.
• Soil: Well-draining; pH 6.0–7.0. Avoid waterlogged sites.
• Depth: 2–3 cm (¾–1¼ in). Keep evenly moist—not wet—until germination.
• Light: Full sun (6–8 hours) for best vigor and fruiting.
• Spacing: Ultimately 3–5 m (10–16 ft) depending on training/pruning.
• Aftercare: Protect young seedlings from frost and pests; begin formative pruning in year 1 for structure.

FAQs

Do peach seeds need cold stratification?

Yes. For reliable germination, provide a cold, moist stratification of roughly 3–4 months (about 90–120 days) at refrigerator temperatures before sowing.

How long from seed to first fruit?

Under good conditions and training, seedlings may begin to flower in 3–4 years, with bearing commonly from year 4–6. Timing varies by climate, care, and individual seedling.

Are these peaches self-pollinating?

Many peach varieties are self-fertile, so a single tree can set fruit. However, having more than one tree can improve overall yields in some gardens.

What climates are suitable?

Peach trees generally prefer regions with cool winters and warm summers. They are typically grown in USDA zones 5–9, provided the site offers adequate winter chill and full sun.
