Zones 4-9 & Zones 6-8 for Optimal Fruit Production Peach Germination: 1) To reduce the chance of mold, fungus, or other contaminants, soak seeds in a 6 parts water-1 part bleach. (Or appx. 3 cups per gallon) 2) Cold stratify by placing seeds in a zip lock bag filled with moist peat moss. Cut a few small holes into the bag, then place in the fridge for 120 days. Periodically check every other week to be sure they do not dry out. Keep them moist, not wet. If any mold or fungus is found, remove and clean seeds in a copper based fungicide. Then replace them back into a clean bag of fresh peat moss. There has been very rare occasions the peach pit will germinate in the fridge, so you you will want to check them periodically. If by chance this occurs, skip step 3 . 3) Gently crack the seed shell with a nutcracker or pliers. Be gentle as they only need to be slightly cracked. 4) Use a high-quality growing mix will ensure that your peach seeds get the best start. A soil-free sterile potting mix, sphagnum moss, or vermiculite are all suitable growing mediums for a peach seed. Choose a large container at least 12 inches tall to allow room for the tap root to develop. Plant the seed 1 inch deep and keep moist. 5) Use a Heated Propagator Mat so you can mimic nature's temperature fluctuations. This will help increase germination rate drastically. During the day, keep them around 86 degrees, then let it drop to 68 during the night. Simply turning the mat off at night will work. 6) Germination will occur between 6-8 weeks. Germinación de duraznos con Nemaguard: 1) Para reducir la posibilidad de moho, hongos u otros contaminantes, remoje las semillas en una solución de 6 partes de agua y 1 parte de cloro (o aproximadamente 3 tazas por galón). 2) Estratifique en frío colocando las semillas en una bolsa con cierre hermético llena de turba húmeda. Haga unos pequeños agujeros en la bolsa y luego colóquela en el refrigerador durante 120 días. Revíselas periódicamente cada dos semanas para asegurarse de que no se sequen. Manténgalas húmedas, no mojadas. Si encuentra moho u hongos, retire y limpie las semillas con un fungicida a base de cobre. Luego, vuelva a colocarlas en una bolsa limpia con turba fresca. Ha habido ocasiones muy raras en las que el hueso del durazno germina en el refrigerador, por lo que deberá revisarlo periódicamente. Si por casualidad esto ocurre, omita el paso 3. 3) Rompa suavemente la cáscara de la semilla con un cascanueces o alicates. Sea cuidadoso, ya que solo es necesario romperlas levemente. 4) Utilizar una mezcla de cultivo de alta calidad garantizará que las semillas de durazno tengan el mejor comienzo. Una mezcla para macetas estéril sin tierra, musgo sphagnum o vermiculita son medios de cultivo adecuados para una semilla de durazno. Elija un recipiente grande de al menos 12 pulgadas de alto para dejar espacio para que se desarrolle la raíz principal. Plante la semilla a 1 pulgada de profundidad y manténgala húmeda. 5) Utilice una estera de propagación calentada para poder imitar las fluctuaciones de temperatura de la naturaleza. Esto ayudará a aumentar drásticamente la tasa de germinación. Durante el día, manténgalas a alrededor de 86 grados, luego déjelas bajar a 68 durante la noche. Simplemente apagar la estera por la noche funcionará. 6) La germinación ocurrirá entre 6 y 8 semanas.
