Has anyone had success planting peach trees from seed?

I live in a tropical area and would like to try growing a couple of peach trees from seed.

Most commercial peaches are harvested from grafted trees. You can start from seed, but it will take a LONG time until they produce fruit. Also remember that peaches, like apples, need a different species tree to cross-pollenate for fruit.





Peaches from seeds are possible, but either you need the patience of Job or the greenthumb of a Master. Your best bet is to buy a commercially grafted set of trees.





Good luck!
Reply:I have no luck with any tree from seed.
Reply:When I was a kid I planted peach tree seeds and grew three large peach trees. I lived in far west Texas where the summers were warm and dry. Each summer the trees produced more peaches than we could eat or package. We gave them away for free.





So yes, you can grow them from seed if the climate is right. For starters you may want to plant them in a pot with good sandy soil, and add small amounts of fertizer until they reach a size where you can transplant them.
Reply:Don't know how experienced you are in such things. Most fruit seeds you might save and plant, you will not get the same type of fruit. Both peach, yes, but a lot of fruit trees are grafted. I have recently done that with apple seeds, and the apples suck. They are like crabapples.
Reply:strange but I was under the impression that peach trees don't do very well unless they have a winter dormant season. But I guess places like Georgia and Texas wouldn't have any peaches then, so that must be wrong. Also, I would think you would need to wait at least 10 years before you see a peach from a tree you started from seed...hope you are patience!
