Nonsense. Many fruit trees reach bearing age in 3-5 years, incl.
peaches.

That may be true. But how many run-of-the-mill pits have to brown into trees
before you get a tree with fruit that works in your area and which you are
willing to consume?

The OP didn't ask about securing an ideal fruit tree for her
particular location and tastes, but simply wanted to know if you could
grow a peach tree from seed. As it turns out, (thanks for the info,
Mr. Dill) peach seeds seem to produce rather more useful trees than
apples, which are fascinatingly random. The poster (unquoted here) who
seemed to think growing a producing fruit tree was a
multi-generational process was wrong.
