virginny says... Yes, my dear Watson ;seedlings are variable and water is wet. My point is that if a plant is selected for long enough, the undesirable characteristics are selected out . One is then left with a little variability but such variability is of desirable characteristics.This ,I repeat, only applies to highly slected species such as peaches. You can get a bad egg but rarely a bad peach from a seedling. | About the Author sydney 29th August 2009 9:26am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... I think we have had this discussion before in relation to nectarines ( a very close relative) and I wasn't the only one to say that the best nectarine I have ever tasted was seed grown and I have since had one come up in the chook yard which is delicious, very sweet and matures very late thus extending the seaon nicely. | About the Author Jantina Mt.

Jen says... I have a miniature nectarine grown from seed. It's 2 years old, less than a foot high. Does anyone out there know much about growing these things out from seed? How can I keep it safe and how long before it flowers? I live in braidwood, and the weather is quite variable, severely cold at times. | About the Author Jen2 Braidwood 8th October 2009 8:33am #UserID: 2882 Posts: 1 View All Jen2's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... Hi Jen, Ive never bothered to grow any fruit trees from seed. Not that it cant be done, or that you will get a great tree in the end. Just that for $20 or $30 you get a tree with a year or so growth, disease free on good root stock and guranteed to be like the parent tree (no risk) I have patience but not that much for $20 :) | About the Author Jason1 Perth 8th October 2009 10:19am #UserID: 2491 Posts: 111 View All Jason1's Edible Fruit Trees |
