You can grow a peach tree in your garden.
How to Grow a Peach Tree
To successfully grow a peach tree, start by thoroughly watering the planting hole.
Next, place the seedling in the hole and secure it with a support peg.
Ensure that the root collar is positioned 3-4 cm above ground level.
If planting in the fall, prune almost all the side branches.
After planting, water the peach tree with up to two buckets of water.
Peach trees require basic care, including weeding, pruning, watering, and fertilizing.
Young seedlings need extra attention, such as sheltering during winter.
For the first 2-3 years, water the seedlings a couple of times a month during dry periods.
Perform a deep watering a few days before the first autumn frosts to prepare the tree for winter.
Trees to Avoid Planting Nearby
Peach trees do not thrive near all types of trees.
Avoid planting them next to apple and pear trees, as they share similar diseases and pests, which can negatively impact the peach tree's health.
