Seedling peach tree help

I have a peach tree that I germinated in a wet towel several months back. It was growing beautifully with nice leaves. I went on vacation and left it by the windows and I think the cold may have hurt it. The leaves started dieing and now this is what I have. I'm hoping I can still help this tree grow. Can anyone tell me if I have a chance with this little seedling?

Hmm, I'm afraid it doesn't look good for your baby peach tree. It looks to me  like it might have gotten a fungal disease from overwatering and lack of drainage, but that's just a guess. Are there drainage holes in that container? How cold did it get when you were gone?

If you have any more peach seeds, now would be a good time to start them.

Let us know if you want to try again. There are a couple of excellent threads on this website about starting peaches from seed. It is amazing how quickly seedling peaches can grow and how fast they can bear fruit. In my experience grafted peach trees, by contrast, often don't last long and have more disease problems.

Here's a thread about about growing peaches from seeds:

I have found that peach seedlings to be cold tolerant in my growing conditions - 9a.

I agree with MK that your seedling may have suffered from being over watered.

If you have any more stones, just plant them all in a pot and leave them outdoors over winter and they ought to germinate in spring.

The thread that MK linked is full of useful tips.

Keep us posted on how you go.

I bought a bushel of peaches 3 years ago,i planted as many as i could and got a few trees out of them,i only got one peach from them last summer because of pests and cold but that one peach was the best peach i had ever eaten.Keep trying and plant as many as you can you will have success.Im hoping i will have more this coming season but if i only get one i will enjoy it just as much as 100.

Many of my seedlings didnt make it past a week or two after emerging but other did really good and are about 8' tall now,keep planting and good luck!

Exactly. There are people who fail.at growing a tree from a seed and there are people who grow many trees from seeds. And if the tree is no good, just cut it down to feed the soil to help the other trees.

I am sorry for your loss.
