Sweet Summer Delight

Nothing compares to the taste of a sun-warmed peach picked fresh from your own tree. Peach trees are fast growers that can produce fruit in just 2-3 years. In addition to the harvest, they are beautiful ornamental trees with showy pink blossoms in early spring that cover the bare branches.

Why You Need It:

  • Homegrown Flavor: Store-bought peaches are picked green; yours will be tree-ripened and sweet.
  • Fast Harvest: Produces fruit sooner than apples or pears.
  • Self-Pollinating: Most varieties do not need a second tree to produce fruit.

Planting Tips:

Requires Full Sun and excellent drainage. Peaches hate wet, heavy clay soil. Pruning is essential every spring to keep the center of the tree open to sunlight.
