Anyone know what are the chances of it making a worthwhile tree?
Not bad actually. As opposed to apples and pears, the stone fruit are more likely to be similar to the parent variety. In the USA, they frequently grow peaches from stones and fully expect to get decent trees with good fruit.
I always thought that the kernel from a peach or nectarine was very similar in size and shape to an almond. Does that sound familiar? I guess the stone could have cracked over the winter and released the kernelXX Jeannine
Nearly 4 years on since rescuing from the compost bin, it's still not a very big plant probably because I've kept it growing in a pot. But hip hip a few flowers this year and when I checked yesterday it has set nude little fruit, so a nectarine Fingers crossed

I must do some 'googling' to see if can find more info....
