[header] How to plant a peach tree [title] Purchase a young peach tree at a nursery or tree farm. [step] You certainly can try to grow one from a seed or pit, but that is much more time consuming and a bit more difficult. A peach seed will grow into a flowering peach tree in about 3 to 6 years; if you buy a peach tree at the nursery, aim for one about a year old-and the reward will be much more imminent. 
[substeps] If you do end up purchasing a young tree, look for a dormant one with few to no leaves. These are best purchased between fall and early spring.
