"Why wont my apricot and peach seeds sprout?!?!?!..."
OK?,
"I figured I come to the professionals,...., I'm having problems starting my apricot and peach seeds,...., first I let the seeds dry themselves (after getting them from the fruit), then I put them in a cup of purified water setting on top of a sponges (with the water half way up the sides of the seeds),...., I havent had any luck, I have done this three time already, and not any of the seeds have sprouted or anything,...., my question is? do I have to add something to the water to get the seeds to sprout, or? since the seeds came from store bought fruit? are they any good?!?!?!..."

"Why wont my apricot and peach seeds sprout?!?!?!..."
Hi. I have never tried to start them inside, but I would think they need
some cold hours before they will sprout, almost everything else does. May be you could put them in your refrigerator for a few days before you try to start them. I throw them outside in my compost pile, mix a little dirt in with them, add water during the winter if there isnt any rain or snow, and in the spring they come up. Might want to give it a try. One spring, after putting the seeds from a box of peaches, into the compost, and at spring time I had 21 little trees. Dwayne "Colonel Jake" wrote in message . ..

You're trying too hard. Mine sprout all around the garden in the most unlikely places. If I was trying to sprout them, then I would do it in the following way which is how I sprout all my trees (except I do something slightly different with acorns) from seed. Get an old polystyrene vegetable box from the green grocer - the ones that are more flat than deep and with holes around the bottom. Fill with a rich moisture retentive mix hig in rotted stuff (leaf mould or just well rotted weeds) spread out peach seeds (don't bother cracking) top with an inch of soil, water well and top with a very fine mulch that is about a quarter to a half an inch deep. Put in dappled shade but out where it can be chilled over winter. Keep moist but not wet. Seeds should come up next spring. |

Only things which naturally grow in a climate where there is a cold period! I wouldn't have thought this applied to peaches, but what would be helpful would be getting inside the stones. This is probably why Dwayne finds they come up in spring - it may not be the cold per se, but the fact that the stones break open during the winter, allowing water to penetrate to the seed inside. -- Kay |

I think thats right. The stones take some time to break down and then open. But the dry storage period in the stone is likely to be important too. Cracking fresh stones might not help. There might also be an inhibitor which needs to be washed out. http://www.theseedsite.co.uk/normdeno.html |
