Freestone Peaches- do the pits need to be frozen to grow?

My mother says to put the pit under a board outside until next spring...then plant and Mark the spot....works she did it.

If you hought the peach from an orchard. Just beware some orchardist graph trees. I've known apple orchards to graph onto older cherry trees because the have a good root system.

So, what are you saying?? The tree that grows from the grafted peach pit will be whatever the tree they grafted the peach to?? If you plant a peach pit, how would it grow up as a cherry tree? It was the center of a real peach!! Or would it just not bear fruit at all? I bought both of the 2 Freestone peach trees from a nursery catalog I got in the mail. A year or two later, one tree was damaged in a windstorm and the peach graft was broken off. The host tree looks like it has small peaches on it, but they don't taste good at all. I have threatened to cut it down, but haven't as yet. The remaining tree has the most delicious peaches I have ever tasted, and I want to try to grow more from its pits. Is this possible? And what is the procedure. Or should I just forget the whole thing and buy more expensive trees from a nursery... grafted or not? I don't think we have a choice, really!

I would think that if you grow new trees from pits, it would necessarily have to be a real peach tree, but I COULD be wrong! (And probably am!)

Thanks for all the input, really, but now I'm even more confused!!

Hey, that's worth a try!! I have a lot of pits! Thanks!!

I'd bite the bullet and purchase one. Seems to me you'd get peaches sooner than having to wait for a pit to root out and grow enough to produce. If you're one of those who are patient, you're only out your time in planting some pits to see if it works. Good luck to you!
