Indian Free White Peach Tree

1. Planting: Plant your Peach Tree in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day). Protect your tree from heavy winds by planting on the sunniest side of a building or your home.

When you're ready to plant, dig the hole twice the size as the root ball and just a little shallower. Use your fingers to separate the roots of your June Gold, place the tree, backfill the soil, and apply water to settle.

2. Watering: Keep the soil around your tree moist, but not over-saturated. Watering once a week by leaving a hose at the base of the tree for a couple of hours is sufficient. Once the soil around the tree has dried, water the tree again. During times of extreme heat, your tree may need additional water.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your tree with a well-balanced fertilizer such as a 12-12-12 formula. Apply in spring before the tree pushes out new growth. Repeat this in the summer and fall seasons as well.

4. Pruning: Trees should only be pruned while the plant is dormant without leaves. That is usually in winter or early spring before the leaf buds open up.
