    Just wondering if the Saturn or Peento peach can be grown from
    seed. I had a peach, regular shape, that had the same shape and
    coloring that would come up for seeds. Also wanted to mention that
    my grandmother told me about eating this peach tree when she was
    young, and I am almost 70. I know that I used to see it in a seed
    catalog years ago, and it was not Stark. It was listed then as the
    Pinto or Peento peach.,
