🌾 Seed Saving Guide

🪴 Vegetative propagation

Propagate vegetatively, not by seed

Peach pits may germinate but won't match the parent. Crack pit, cold-stratify the seed for 12 weeks, then sow.

Some self-fertile heirloom peaches produce reasonably true offspring — an interesting experiment for patient gardeners.
