Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Peach trees grow best in all day sun, and may need thinning to reduce fruit count, to allow remaining fruits to reach full size. They are best grown in a slightly acidic, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent water. Supplement with phosphorous when planting. Many peach varieties are self-pollinating, but even the peaches that are listed as self-pollinating benefit from another variety nearby to increase production and fruit size.
Additional Notes
- 'Veteran' was bred in Canada and introduced in 1928. It requires over 1000 hours of chilling before it will bloom, and has set crops in colder areas where winter likes to "hang on".
