Prunus persica, commonly known as the peach tree, is a deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, juicy fruit and spectacular display of pink spring blossoms. Fun fact: peaches are members of the rose family, making them close relatives of roses, cherries, plums, and almonds. Their ornamental beauty and delicious harvest make them a favorite for home orchards.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water deeply during extended dry periods, especially during fruit development
• Pruning: Prune annually in late winter while dormant to maintain an open canopy, improve air circulation, and encourage fruit production
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins
