I read your note on growing cherries from the pit . I am trying to start other fruit.
Do the seeds of apricots and peaches requiring the same method, I have done everything except refrigerate the seeds and so far nothing. Thanks

When you eat a peach apricot plum apple etc....just bury the pit in a small part of your garden
and most likely some will sprout in the Spring.

When the seedlings are about 2' or so tall,you can plant elsewhere during late winter.

There is a good chance that the trees will produce the original fruit albeit somewhat smaller,
or they may look entirely different.....

Their is also a chance that they may produce no fruit at all,...however it will take 3 years before you will see what they will bear.....one thing is for sure,you will no doubt enjoy a lot of fruit for your labour.

. I've been told. Starting fruit from seeds it's possible but not practical.
Fruit will not come through from seed.
I have started avocados and peaches from seed, in CA what I have done is Mark out an area (so I don't plant something else there) where I want the tree to grow and I just put a whole bunch of seeds their, if I get more than 1 I pot up the rest.
I have 1 Avocado tree it is 5 years' old, the 3rd year I got 5 avocados and they were delicious, last year I had nothing this year there is 1, the 2nd Avocado is 3 years old, it did bloom no avocados, the peach tree is about 8 years old peaches are lousy 3 years ago I cut it down to about 6 in. then my friends decided they love smoothies so I let it grow and there are peaches on it right now,
Theres no way to predict how the fruit will be.
It is better just to take a whole lot of cuttings and stick them in a pot and hope something takes...

You may end up with something absolutely delicious from seed you never know.
