AboutTom Alonzo Expertise I have been growing plants from seeds for at least 20 years. I have grown literally hundreds of different kinds of vegetables, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, tropicals, some cacti, water plants, iris, rose, lilies, cannas, etc. I enjoy starting from seed.
Experience I've been growing my own seeds for 20 years with indoor propagation equipment I built myself. I am also an Allexperts volunteer on the perennial forum. I have completed the Master Gardener course through the Kansas State University Extension. I have experience with a wide variety of seeds and I have also read through Norm Deno's books on seed germination.
Question If you plant the pit of a nectarine, will it grow and produce fruit?
Answer Hi Wendy,
Thanx for your question. Most likely, the pit or seed of the nectarine will sprout and growing into a tree if planted correctly. The seed needs a cold period to break dormancy and sprout. It will take 5-7 years to produce fruit from seed. If you will do a search on this site, you will see a number of my responses that give instructions for planting a nectarine or other fruit seed. I hope this helps.
Tom
