How To
Grow
Peach Tree

Choose the right variety

Select a variety suited to your climate and elevation

Consider disease-resistant types if available

Select a good location

Full sun (at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily)

Well-drained, loamy soil with pH between 6.0 and 7.0

Planting

Plant in early spring or late fall in temperate climates

Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball

Place the tree with graft union above the soil line

Fill with soil, water well, and mulch around the base

Watering

Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather

Young trees need consistent moisture

Fertilizing

Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring

Avoid over-fertilizing, especially with nitrogen

Pruning

Prune in late winter to shape and remove dead or crossing branches

Encourage open center or central leader form

Pollination

Most apple varieties require a second compatible variety for cross-pollination

Plant at least two varieties nearby or ensure a pollinator is present in the area

Pest & disease management

Monitor for common issues like apple scab, aphids, and codling moth

Use organic or integrated pest management methods if possible

Harvesting

Apples are usually ready 100–200 days after bloom depending on variety

Fruit should be firm, full-colored, and come off easily with a twist
