1 Answer

Answer :

Your little peach tree will thrive in full sun. She should be planted 25 - 30 feet from another tree to give her room to grow her limbs and her roots.  You will need to spray her with a bug preventative to keep her healthy. Otherwise borers will get in her and quickly her healthy little limbs will be scared and dying.  She should be fertilized an weeds kept from around her trunk.  Watch when cutting the grass to not knick her or she could bleed out. She should start to bear fruit in 2-5 years.  Good luck with the new baby and thanks for giving back to mother earth.
