Peach Trees - Caroking

Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Caroking Peach Tree is simple and rewarding, ensuring you'll enjoy a fruitful harvest of delicious peaches each year:

Planting

Select the Right Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, as Caroking Peach Trees thrive in full sunlight. Ensure the location provides enough space for the tree to grow to its full size.

Prepare the Soil: Caroking Peach Trees prefer deep, sandy, well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage.

Dig a Proper Hole: Dig a hole that is at least twice the width and the same depth as the root ball of the tree. This will allow ample space for the roots to expand and establish themselves.

Plant the Tree: Carefully remove the tree from its container and place the root ball in the center of the hole. Ensure the top of the root system is level with the surrounding ground. Backfill the hole with native soil and gently pack it down to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, give your tree a deep watering to help settle the soil around the roots and provide moisture for the tree to establish.

Care

Regular Watering: Ensure the tree receives regular watering, particularly during dry periods or in the first year after planting. The soil should remain moist but not soggy.

Pruning: Prune the tree in late winter to remove any dead, diseased, or damaged wood and to encourage lateral growth. This will help maintain the tree's shape and improve airflow.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote strong growth and fruit production. Be careful not to over-fertilize, as this may lead to excessive foliage growth rather than fruiting.

The Caroking Peach Tree is a delightful addition to any garden or orchard. With its juicy, tangy flavor, it's perfect for fresh eating, baking, or canning, and its early ripening ensures you'll enjoy delicious peaches early in the summer season.
