A home garden without Peaches? Can you imagine such a thing? Just think what you 
are missing—luscious fruit from late June to mid-October if you select an early, a 
midseason, and a late. One tree of each is better than none, but if you have space, 
plant five of each class. For a commercial orchard you need a special selection and } 
several varieties—better write and ask our advice. 
Planting and Care 
The Peach is the quickest maturing of fruit trees, often bearing the second year after 
transplanting. Plant only in well drained soil but otherwise follow methods recommended 
for other fruit trees. 
When planting, prune rather severely, cut all side branches to 6 to 8 inches and head 
low. The tree gets top-heavy if allowed to develop a high head. Subsequent orchard 
Pruning consists of shortening the terminal growth and keeping the tree compact and 
shapely. 
Borers which live right below the ground line and frequently girdle the trunk should be 
removed annually. A new chemical, Paradichlorobenzine (PDB), may be used to control 
this pest. Our orchard growing and nursery experience is always at your service. Write } 
us your questions and we will try to help you. |
