How To: Grow a Peach Tree From Seed, part 4

When I left off last time, I had only barely got 4 more sprouts planted, and two more were waiting until I had room on the window sill.

Just so you can see how they grew, this is what they looked like on Feb 25th before I planted them!



As you can tell, they were in definite need of planting! Well I finally got them planted and they're doing well! 4 out of the 6 I have planted have all started to get tiny sprouts!

It's very nice that they're all growing at different speeds regardless of which method I used. I do have to say I think removing the seed coat helped in my case, but I think if the weather were colder, it'd have been better to leave it on longer.

After a full week has passed, lets see how they've grown!

(these are the two I only just planted a few days ago!)


(these are the two that had started to grow mold)

(these two are only just beginning to show signs of sprouting!)

(this is my original seed. As I mentioned before, he lost most of his leaves)

Because the weather hasn't warmed up any, my plants are all sitting on a chair in the backroom where they can get some sunlight without being so close to the window that they freeze. It's no substitute for outside in warm weather, but the weather has gone from 30 to 70 and back this week.

Let's see how they continue to grow in the weeks ahead!

I wonder, how long until the one that still has it's seed coat begins to root?
