Peach Trees - Flordaking

Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Flordaking Peach Tree is simple, allowing you to enjoy delicious fruit without hassle:

Planting

Select the Right Location: Choose a sunny spot with plenty of sunlight for your Flordaking Peach Tree. It thrives in full sun, essential for optimal fruit production.

Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is deep, well-drained, and sandy. If needed, amend the soil with compost to improve drainage.

Dig a Proper Hole: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. This gives the roots room to establish and grow.

Plant the Tree: Remove the tree from its container and gently place the root ball in the hole. Backfill with native soil and lightly tamp it down to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, water deeply to settle the soil and hydrate the roots.

Care

Watering: Ensure consistent watering, especially during the first year. Water the tree deeply, particularly in dry spells.

Pruning: Prune once a year to remove vertical branches and encourage lateral growth. This helps maintain the tree's shape and promotes healthy fruiting.

Fertilization: In spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support robust growth and healthy fruit production.

The Flordaking Peach Tree is a hardy, self-pollinating variety that produces sweet, firm peaches. With proper care, this tree will reward you with delicious fruit for years to come, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to enjoy homegrown peaches.
