I don't know why a peach seed wouldn't grow true to fruit, unless it is damaged or cross pollinated with another fruit tree.

The tree might not look the same, though, because I think a lot of fruit trees these days are grafted onto other rootstock to change things like tree size. (And also productivity and disease resistance, I think?)

Pretty sure that most fruits will grow true from seed as long as they haven't been damaged or cross pollinated. I read somewhere that one exception is a Mango. (Don't know why, but as I recall the flavor from a seed grown fruit is supposed to be very bad.)
