Select a site for your tree that will get full sun and won’t be shaded by other trees or buildings. (-23 C.) and a few that are cold hardy to -20 degrees F. There are literally hundreds of varieties, some being cold hardy to -10 degrees F. It’s a good idea to consult with your local university extension service about the best peach trees for your climate. Peaches are self-fruitful, meaning that for pollination purposes you don’t need to plant more than one. You need to first decide whether you want freestones (best for eating fresh) or clingstones (work well for canning). Fresh, frozen, dried, or canned peaches are one of nature’s true delights. Peaches provide Vitamins A and C as well as potassium and fiber. How to Grow PeachesĪlthough growing peach trees can’t be taken lightly, it can be highly rewarding. Peach trees need a regular routine of feeding, pruning, and management of pests and disease.
However, peach tree care requires a commitment to learning how to grow peaches.
Peaches ( Prunus persica), native to Asia, are juicy, delicious, and uniquely tasty. But if you’re looking for, IMO, a cool little container tree that you can protect and actually get peaches from each year, I’d recommend trying some out.A peach is often defined as something attractive, exemplary, and delightful. If you’re looking for the best tasting or highest yielding peaches then the genetic dwarfs are not going to be the best option. I would check out the thread mamuang posted above. I even ordered a few of the new Zaiger dwarfs from Bay Laurel last Fall. IMO, the best tasting fruit for our climate are the ones that produce regularly. While the taste might not be as good as the non-genetic dwarfs, I was extremely thankful to have any peaches this year from my Pix Zee in that I was able to move it into the garage during our spring frosts - it tasted great to me. I have a Pix Zee miniature peach in a container, mainly because it think the genetic dwarfs look cool and are manageable when to comes to frost protection. Is there a reason you want a container peach vs in ground? I believe you’re in Colorado, like myself and a few others.
Hey I think some more context is going to be able to help steer you in the right direction.
