Peach Trees - Flordario

Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Flordario Peach Tree is simple, offering great rewards in early-season fruit and vibrant color:

Planting

Select the Right Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden, as Flordario Peach trees need full sunlight to produce the best fruit. Ideally, they should receive at least 8 hours of sunlight per day.

Prepare the Soil: The tree thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. If your soil is heavy or clay-based, amend it with organic matter like compost to improve drainage and soil structure.

Dig a Proper Hole: Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and roughly the same depth, ensuring the roots have enough space to spread out and grow. This gives the tree plenty of room to establish itself.

Plant the Tree: Carefully remove the tree from its pot and place the root ball in the hole, making sure the top of the root system is level with the surrounding ground. Gently break up the roots before planting to encourage growth.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, water the tree generously to settle the soil and provide the roots with enough moisture to start growing.

Care

Regular Watering: Flordario Peach trees require regular watering, especially during dry spells. Be sure to water deeply and consistently, particularly in the fruiting season, but avoid over-watering as this can lead to root rot.

Pruning: Prune your tree in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps maintain a manageable shape, encourages strong lateral growth, and ensures the tree’s health by removing any dead or damaged branches.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. This supports healthy growth and fruit production, while avoiding excessive nitrogen, which could promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit.

The Flordario Peach Tree is a wonderful early-season variety that will reward you with sweet, tangy peaches with minimal care. Ideal for home gardeners, it provides both early fruit and beautiful, vibrant yellow and red peaches that add color and flavor to your garden.
