How To Plant A Peach, Nectarine, Apricot or Plum Tree
After eating a piece of fruit, clean the pit and put it in a plastic bag. Place it in the refrigerator and store it until September or October.
Pick a good, sunny spot in your yard where there is room for a tree to grow. Place the pit about five inches beneath the soil surface. (You might want to mark the spot with a craft stick so you won't forget where you planted it.)
Wait for spring, and you should see a shoot poke above the ground indicating your tree is growing. It should continue to grow and be quite visible by mid-summer. Water your tree and fertilize it with fruit tree spikes that you can purchase at a garden center. If you take good care of your tree, you may have fruit in 2-3 years!
Note: Fruit trees can be difficult to grow from seed. Plant several to have a better chance of one germinating. You can always remove seedlings that you don't want, should more than one sprout.

You have to be an apricot to grow one of your own.
Perhaps you can adopt.
