Growing White Nectarine from Seeds - Check out how I successfully germinate white nectarines and how the plants look 3 months later. #GrowingWhiteNectarinefromSeeds #GrowWhiteNectarinefromSeeds #GerminateWhiteNectarine
good job, I have grown nectarines from seed a few times, and they flower and fruit in just 3 years and they usually produce fruits that are very faithful to the mother plant, in large quantities and of good quality.
What's the season in your place? If it's getting colder, it could be that they're about to go dormant and soon lose leaves. Wait until they wake up in spring, they'll have greener and bigger leaves.
You refrigerate for about 3 weeks(or until they sprout roots) I would recommend though, that you put the seeds In a dark humid place, it works better and you'll see results quicker.
I refrigerated them and waited for them to sprout, but in my case they didn't and I got impatient so I planted them in the pot outside. They sprouted after a couple of weeks. I think the cold (because it was winter that time) did the job to germinate the seeds.
I planted even Siberian pines. Northern plants normally need cold to germinate, but a small percentage may germinate without it. Also the chance of germination will be higher without the cold if you remove the shell. With Siberian pines I had 0% germination without the cold, but 100% germination with the shells removed. European pines and Siberian larches had little germination rate (like 5-10%) without cold.
Approximately 3 weeks. I expected them to sprout while in the fridge, but they didn't. I got impatient, took them out then planted in the pot. About 2 weeks later, they sprouted!
Don't worry, nectarine plants are hard to kill. I pulled out one unwanted sapling, put it in the bin, and saw it was still growing in there, without light and soil. They're pretty sturdy.
Not necessarily peaches and nectarines grow true to type from seeds so if you plant a nectarine seed you will get nectarines and the same goes with peaches
