Question

When I plant a peach pit do i remove the outer shell?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

No.  Plant it and let nature take over.

Answer 3

A peach pit requires lots of chill time in the refrigerator.  Depending on where you live and what variety of peach you have, it could be anywhere from 200-400 hours.  Peaches need that chill to sprout in the spring.

There are many valuable websites that talk specifically about peach pits.  If you plant a peach directly into the soil it most likely won't do anything but sit there.

Answer 4

I really doesn't matter.

If you don't, it may take longer for water to reach the center and such, but the seed is more protected in the ground.

good luck! i hope you get some awesome peaches!

or the alternative to just get a small peacj tree that is already out of the ground and growing.
