Peach seed/pit geowing question ...

[tigerscott79]

So my parents had a red leaved peach that had several pits among the ground from last year's fruits (that animals hadn't eaten them all) so they've been through natural stratification over winter , I took home crack out there pits and float tested they sank. One even had twin seed! Idk if common but was neat noneless. Question is would I need put in fridge to wait for the ?radicals (roots) to sprout or since we're stratified naturally just pot up and keep lightly watered til they grow. Triwd to Google and only found stratification then radicals and pot up but since there pre stratification already wasn't sure if can go right to potting and also if germination mtt would help them germinate or if use afterwards , thanks

As far as I know peach is a native of warmer climes so does not require stratification. Just plant the seeds in pots outdoors and they'll come up when the time is right.
Double seed in peach is quite common but I don't know if that enhances germination or if one or both twin seeds can't grow.
