I Grew Fruit Trees from Store Bought Fruits

I have grown some fruits and veggies from seeds out of fresh fruit. I think stone fruit has probably been the easiest for me. I grew a wild peach or Indian peach from seeds years ago and have kept it going for decades. I put the pits in dry peat and put it in the freezer for a winter to mimic the freezing and thawing of a winter cycle then removed it and cracked the outer seed covering to reveal a core that resembled an almond. Planted that and grew them with success. Now they just come up under the tree and in my compost and I dig them up.

I have grown the native pawpaw from seed also. Have grown pineapple from the tops. Have used store bought dried beans as seeds in a pinch also. My plum seeds sprout in the compost all the time.

One year I had a heck of a time getting bell pepper seeds. Went to the grocer and bought a fresh one and split it and took the seeds out and planted them straight out of the fruit. Best pepper crop I ever had.

SO when in doubt and especially maybe in a survival situation what the heck. Go for it!
