About Peach

Peaches are fast-maturing fruit trees that can produce within 2-3 years and thrive in warm temperate climates.

Choose low-chill varieties for Zone 8-9 standard varieties for Zone 5-7. Peaches need well-drained soil — they rot in wet feet. Thin fruit heavily for larger peaches. Protect spring blossoms from late frosts.
