Good questions grow here
A little more clarity.
Do Peach Tree seeds need cold stratification?
Yes — Peach Tree seeds are raw and untreated, so they need a cold, moist rest to break dormancy. Mix them into the damp soil, cover with the lid, and chill the planter in the refrigerator for several weeks, then move it somewhere warm and bright.
How long do Peach Tree seeds take to germinate?
Peach Tree seeds typically sprout in 30-90 days at 33-40F when kept warm and evenly moist. Your guide lists the ideal conditions.
Can I grow Peach Tree indoors, and is it hardy in my area?
You start Peach Tree indoors in any climate using the kit. Once established it can be moved outdoors in USDA Zones 5-9 (Outdoor), or kept in a container in colder regions.
Growing details are supplied in the Seeds In A Cup® product catalog. Follow the instructions included with your specific kit.
