Care Tips

Peaches can be grown in cooler climates though they are not the easiest to get right as they will flower very early before most pollinating insects are available and when frosts can still be devastating. To this end they need to be actively protected against frosts and planted in deep fertile soil. To get the best fruits they need to have a nice, long and hot summer with plenty of sunshine. The best way to succeed with a peach tree it to train one up against a wall as they will be easier to protect from pests and frosts.
