They don't work that way

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then that makes me a burning truck filled with TNT hurtling through a rocket fuel depot.

Do you mean how to graft one? I googled it and found some information on ehow, maybe this is what you want?

 

In order for a peach tree, or any fruit tree, to bear fruit it must be grafted. Grafting is the process of inserting limbs or buds of one tree into another tree. There many effective methods of grafting, including the cleft method. If you have an older tree, you may want to graft it in more than one place. Grafting can help fill out a tree in addition to helping the tree produce fruit.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1.  Select scions, or pieces, of the parent peach tree that you want to graft to the new tree. The best time to cut scions is in winter or early spring, when the parent tree is dormant.

2.  Cut off the root branch, where the scions will be placed, making sure to leave a stump. Using a grafting chisel, split the stump across the middle, creating a cleft (crack) at least 1 inch deep. Use a screwdriver or large knife to widen the cleft, if necessary.

3.  Whittle a scion to a wedge at one end and insert it into the cleft. Do not try to make the end too sharp, or the scion may not fit well in the cleft. Take the second scion and whittle it, inserting it into the other end of the cleft.

4.  Wrap the graft to protect the union and the full length of the cleft, or use grafting compound to fill the cleft.

5.  Watch the growth of the graft, and protect it from breaking by tying it to a wooden brace. Alternatively, tie all of the shoots from the scions together with twine.

I thought he meant how do you sprout one, like you can sprout cuttings from many plants. But most trees don't work that way.
