Tips For Care

Peach trees need full sun and at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Morning sun is best, as the strong rays quickly dry off the foliage from overnight dew. Hardy in USDA growing zones 5-8, Vivid is incredibly versatile, adaptable and tolerant of both cold and hot summers!

Please provide fertile, well-drained soil, enriched with compost and organic matter. Choose a site with slightly acidic soil, with a sandy-loam medium.

Fruit trees do not tolerate soggy conditions, so if you suspect you have poorly draining soil, improve drainage as needed by creating a mounded heap of soil 12 to 18 inches above the soil line and 3 feet out from the trunk, or plant in a raised bed.

Give your trees a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Make the most of the supplemental water by applying mulch over the root system to a depth of 3 inches. Spread the mulch out 3 feet from the outside of the canopy. Mulch not only provides insulation from heat and chill, but also maintains consistent moisture levels in the soil.

For best results, fertilize your tree regularly with Dr. Earth Fruit Tree Fertilizer or a good organic, slow-release fertilizer.

Good air circulation is important as well. Prune to keep the center of the tree open to both air and sunlight. It is easy to maintain this tree much smaller if needed for a small home orchard, small yard, or to harvest easily. Maintaining a smaller tree also allows you to cover in bird netting so your local feathered friends won’t carry away all of your harvest.

In late winter, prune to keep an open canopy for sunlight and airflow to reach the interior of the tree. Read more pruning tips and tricks, as well as Peach Tree Care in our Garden Blog!
