Care

Peach fruit trees need well-drained soil and regular watering. They should be pruned annually to remove dead or crowded branches and shape the tree. In early spring, they should be fertilized with a balanced fertilizer and protected from pests with organic sprays as needed.

Plant Reproduction

Peach Fruit Tree spreads through seeds, root sprouts, or grafting.

Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
