Last october i put 5 peach pit seeds in the fridge on a wet paper towel etc. Come jan, 1 seed was rooting. A month later, 3 more were. 1 didnt sprout. 1 died after a month. The remaining 3 are big and strong. 32" last measurement. 2 are straight stemmed and 1 has 2 branches growing out. This fall i will plant them in the ground.
Awesome seems you know a thing or two about stratifying
Gotta have those cold days 👍
Moving to the country…. Gonna eat a lot of peaches…. Moving to the country… gonna eat me a lot of peaches!

Just bought my first peach tree yesterday at Costco. It's about 6 feet tall, no leaves, just very thin limbs. No knowing anything about trees or gardening, your video will be of great help. Thank You.
Thanks enjoy!!
Is it easy to take care of ?
I just bought 2 from there. Different varieties 🙏🏾
I just bought one a few days ago that's 6 ft tall & has several little ones on it.
I'm worried about its roots being in a tight bunch.
What could I do about that?
@LisaJohnson1967 break the root ball up with your hands. Gently massage the woodchip and old soil from the roots and replant
finally someone who knows how to plant fruit trees and also why trimming branches is so important. explains the weight of the fruit will break branched fruiting too early
Thanks. Appreciate you sir.
Thank you so much 🙏 as a 24yo getting started on my property this video was very informative!
Thanks very much!
25 and just started myself. Good luck icon
Thank you for showing us all those tips. You are such a peach!
🤣
Super informative! Thank you! I inherited two peach trees that had not been trimmed for a while when I purchased my home (6' apart, but 15' high). Now that I've gotten those under control, I'm looking to plant 2 more peach trees.
Thanks! Enjoy those trees.
Love the pvc idea. That's so genius. Very helpful video thanks
Thank you friend!
Thank you! A neighbor gave me two peach trees as a gift and was so nervous I was going to mess up. You explained everything perfectly and I couldn't help but smile!
And the one I planted in that video has peaches on it right now so it doesn’t take years and years like some folks think
Thank you. I like the idea of trees close together for home gardeners like me. Florida, year # 2 and peach tree did get 2 peaches in April but I pulled them off and will fertilize the tree and hope to get a bunch of blooms. I did prune out one vertical branch in the middle for a vase shape. Baby steps if I need to prune more. ha. Tree is 10 feet high for season 2 and I am thrilled. I will do the perforated pipe that you demonstrated and not disturb roots too much. I Made peach tea out of those leaves. Fun.
Sounds like you’re doing a fabulous job!! I would not recommend adding the tube to an established tree. I do this temporarily only to give them a good start. 👍👍
What a joy to watch your video. I like your style. Thanks for posting for all to enjoy! Bravo Sir!
Many thanks! Keep growing!!
Just bought two peach trees and didn't know how to plant them. Thank you so much for this video! Subscribed
Enjoy! Thanks
simple to understand
and encouraging thank you brother
Thank you!!
Love the video man, west Texas here and growing a fruit tree myself.
Thanks enjoy that fruit!!
Love it you taught me so much just bought a peach but need to go see what kind I have.
Thanks
Thanks for this video. Planting a la Feliciano in San Antonio after losing our orange tree to the 2020 ice storm. New subscriber.
Thanks and good luck!!
Great video! Thank you from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Thank you my friend!!
Thank you for your video!!!
Thank you!!
new subscriber and i really enjoy your content and attitude. I'm in Piedmont or upstate South Carolina. Really enjoyed your tomato post.
Thanks!!
I just now planted a peach trees. According to your video which I seen after the fact, I reckon i did it right. 🥭only thing I did different was i used old piles of leaves around top to help keep moist. I seen a feller in daytona used leaves. Happy grow'en y'all.
Leaves work fine! Thanks!! Enjoy
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 only thing I want sure of was if I should wait to prune this coming fall? Tree I got is 4 ft tall. It came a 2 gallon pot
Great video!!!!!
Thanks!
I planted a Lovell peach tree a a year & a half ago. It's growing well. Can hardly wait until we get fruit!
One more year!!
Still no fruit. Some leaf curl. I've been trimming, watering, & mulching. Really want peaches.
Good morning, just found this channel. I really like you, thanks for the help.
Thank you
Thank you sir!
Thank you!
Wow thanks for video
Thanks
Wonderful video, sir. I subscribed!
Thanks!
I just bought peach 🍑 tree ( Red Haven) from HomeDepot, waiting til fall to plant, …Thanks for the tips.
Thank you!
Great Video . As a Native Texan now in Florida, this reminds me of our farm in North Texas. I am going to plant a Peach Tree which mist likely feed the squirrels 😜
Squirrels got to eat 🤣
Good one ty!
Ty!!
Gracias
Por favor
You should have seen my bottom lip come out when you said to pick the babies if they're too close together lol 😅 thank you for all the information much appreciated
Thank you!
I love your idea of putting the PVC pipe to take the nutrients to the root level.
Thanks!!!! Very beneficial during first year for sure
Might I suggest you can make Peach Shortcake 😊
It's delicious! Nothing like a a boiled skinned juicy peach💕
Sounds great!
BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN ON PLANTING A YOUNG PEACH TREE! Thank you I am now subbed!
Thanks!!!
Like your style bro. You remind me a bit of the tunesmith from slingblade.. No offense
None taken sir🤣
@@colonyhillshomestead4683😊😊*@
🤣🤣
I just planted one I used 50lbs of milorganite with mixed with black cow and mine has grown 2-3 feet in a month it seems like
Awesome growth. Remember to prune in fall
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 what’s the downside if I don’t prune I kinda planted it for quick shade and for the fruit
This video was very much helpful! Thank you so much! It’s been a week since we’ve planted our tree and I’m starting to see pill bugs in the soil. Are these any harm for the tree? And if yes, how can I get rid of them?
For the most part these bugs are natures composters. They eat dead plant material and in turn put those nutrients back in the soil. I wouldn’t see it as an issue.
ty Sir!👍🍑
Yessss
Great video!!! Do you think they’ll do well in full sun, out in AZ? It’s around 105 today. I’m planting 2 trees in full sun this week!
Yes they need full sun
Thanks for such detailed info. QQ - how far out should a peach tree be planted from the house?
Thanks
first time i see the pvc trick and i like it. except for that the only thing i'd avoid is pressing the soil around the tree, you risk to rip off roots underground. watering will press it for you but slowly and gently.
The pressing at that point was to get new soil under the roots and actually it was root bound I cut tips of roots off!!
You mentioned pruning in the Winter. What month would you suggest for zone 7b? Thanks for the video! 🙂
Feb
Thank you for all the information. When can I transplant my tree? Ty
Well without knowing your grow zone I can’t be precise. However , planting fruit trees during their dormant time is considered the best as it provides less stress. Late December to March.
I’ve got a question. I planted a couple of Florida peach trees, several years ago. Two different varieties. They both bloom every year and produce
Peaches each year. One has apparently died, but it has produced a “sucker” growth below ground level and below the graft! My question is should I cut the dead portion of the tree (about 100% of the tree) and encourage this sucker to grow? What kind of peach tree will it be? Or get rid of the old tree (sucker and all) and grow a new tree in stead?
Cut that old portion to the ground. I just had this happen with a plum tree. It survived thru the roots hey man I think it’s gonna make me a strong tree. Leave it
In areas where there are lots of deer fruit trees might have to be taller.
As long as ya have safe means to harvest. Right on!
Got a bit of a crazy idea.
Trying to make a self watering orchard.
I got a spot with three small springs on it. I was going to cover them with a couple feet of dirt.
If you were doing this how deep would you think that the water line should be below the top of the dirt? 3-4 feet?
3 feet should water fine without getting topsoil muddy and allow for excess to go back into the underground water table of course shut it down in winter or you’ll build a nice ravine 🤣
And I may not be understanding exactly what you mean but thought was running pipe under from spring. Maybe French drain from spring and run under trees
Have any videos on a spraying system?
I try to stay organic. Ever thought of netting your trees after they put on fruit
wow, pretty
Would you recommend getting any tree root blocks to keep neighboring trees out?
They won’t integrate but will compete for water and nutrients so think about taking them out or just supplementing fruit trees
Thinking about getting a Redhaven peach tree do I need two of them to get fruit?
Peach trees are generally self fertile meaning one tree will bear fruit.
Can I wrap the roots so i can remove the tree in a couple years easier?
This will inhibit growth of course but if this is the plan why not get a 10 + gallon container
I bought a earligrande peach tree on clearance. it was 4ft tall with yellow limp leaves but had 3 small peaches that were VERY sweet. Does this tree have a good chance to grow into a healthy long lasting tree?
Absolutely sir. Plant ur as video showed give roots plenty of room. Good luck
You doing a follow up on the tree? 1 year progress video?
Follow up is this…. First year it sleeps, next year it creeps and the next it leaps! The tree is doing well and has about 8 peaches on it right now. It’s about 5 ft tall!
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 that's fantastic! Thanks for the update.
do you ever take out the PVC pipe? thank you for the video!
Yes after first year I pull them out
thank you!
My grandad’s peach tree got uprooted, and I want to replace it. Thank you!
Happy growing!
So I got a random peach tree growing in my yard. It's almost 3ft tall. I want to relocate it. How tall do they have to be before I can relocate without killing it
You could do it now and be fine. Don’t wait too long the summer heat could do it in. Fall will be your next opportunity
Is partial shade ok? I get full sun, but there are pines behind where i wanna plant... call it 80 percent sun
80% is great
I have a question I have a peach tree that I grew from seed and there is no leaves on it and I put it into the ground and I don’t see any new growth on and should I move it to a different spot where it can grow better
Well first discern if it’s dead or alive so take some cuttings if the Cambrium is not green it’s dead
Good morning I just planted my 1st peach tree this past weekend, I didn’t watch your video until 2 days later. My question is can I dig a hole now and place the pvc in after the fact?
Yes you certainly can and I only leave it in for first year or so
Would you also add liquid fertilizer (fish emulsion) down the pvc
Another question sir. Do you fertilize with 10-10-10? How often? Around the top only or down the tube? Thanks again!
Triple ten is actually great! I also use compost tea down the tube
I use that fertilizer around top
Is there anything else we can use instead of a PVC pipe with drilled holes to help the roots deepen into the ground?
Dig a much bigger hole
Thanks so much for responding!
I just bought one a few days ago that's 6 ft tall & has several little ones on it.
I'm worried about its roots being in a tight bunch.
What could I do about that?
Allot of the trees we buy are root bound I always clear the dirt from the roots and even trim a cple inches off the longest ones to create new growth
@colonyhillshomestead4683 Thank you for your answer! I planted it yesterday. I did clear a bunch out of it, and made several cuts straight out from center with a long knife. The bottom roots were absolutely hard & flat like a disc. I couldn't do much of anything with them, but as I understand it, they don't really go deeper much...they spread; is that correct? Or do I need to dig it back up & correct it somehow?
I live in a tropical country, we only have 2 seasons. will this method work here? I really want to try growing my own peaches
A standard peach will not produce there but… there are some low chill varieties becoming available. Use the words “ low chill” to start your search. 👍
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 thank you👍, i will do it
I have two peach trees and they grow then shrink what can be the cause of that
Grow then shrink?
I got a question for your brother. I'm going to start a seed and grow the tree in my house for a year or so and then I want to transplant it outside. Is there a certain time of year That I should do that?
Late winter / early spring
@colonyhillshomestead4683 Thanks bro!!
One last question. I got 4 6' peach of 2 varieties. Grafts r visible, but they rootbound. Best advice for direct planting? Break up the ball gently???
Yes definitely disturb the roots. Also I’d loosen the soil about 2 foot outside the roots
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 ur a rockstar. Ill keep you posted
حافض على سقيها لان الشجرة التي انبتها من البذور طوال الخريف و الشتاء الماضي ماتت بسبب العطش في بغداد !
Thanks
My husband insists that the pipe will be a problem with winter freeze? ( we are total newbies)
Not if you mulch in fall but pipes are temporary for first 4 or 5 months then pull them
How long will that size tree takes before it produce fruits?
Have fruits on it now 3rd year
I wonder what it looks like now.
Just a bit fuller
First year sleep
Second it creeps
Third year it leaps
Video starts at 8:20
Lol thanks. I’ve opted to have chapters but oh well.
What is the size of the PVC pipe?
2”
Are you in zone 8b?
I am
How is your peach tree doing after one year?
I’ll put a new video up that peach tree has peaches on it no third year
I would think that tube in the ground is just making a easier way for the peach tree borer to get right to the roots easy , im not tryin that.
Thanks for the advice. I treat with neem oil to prevent borers cedar chips for mulch seems to keep them away also. I pull the watering tubes when tree is established!
How do you apply the neem oil?
We have a terrible time with rust disease.
Keep area around base free of old leaves, don’t overwater, prune to increase air flow and treat with fungicide 3 to 4 times. Thanks
How did the peach tree do?
It has small peaches on it now
Third year we have peaches
@colonyhillshomestead4683 nice I just planted bare root 2 weeks ago hopefully it goes well
Ive planted a dozen peach trees only to loose them to deer, and leaf Curl , ive sprayed them fenced them sprayed again and again. But still. Not one peach have i picked. Apples, cherries , plums . I grow well . But peaches ? No way will they grow , and if they do they always die. Pacific northwest in Oregon hates my peaches.
Peaches seem to be a southern thing. Apples I have problems with. All about the right amount of chill hours.
Is that a New York accent 😜?
Yea sure ok
My peach tree died I’m so sad . 😢 i left the steel bar thingy on it I hope that isn’t why it died
Plant three more!! But…wait til it cools off
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 I planted the last one in memory of my pet bunny that passed away this year . I kinda want to plant another peach tree but if it dies again I will be heartbroken . I have clay soil . Maybe I should try another type of tree.
@@EveofPyrite Plum trees are very vigorous!
3 yeeeears 😫😫😫😫😫
Yep
Just about anybody who knows how to plant a tree can plant a peach tree. The trick is getting it to produce peaches. I asked a worker at a tree nursery in Ohio if I planted a peach tree if I could expect to get peaches in 10 years he told me I'd probably have to wait 15 years.
Mine produced year 3
Why are you fighting and snubbing us / viewers ?
What do you mean?
I respond to my folks!
Hey again! I have planted 4 beautiful peaches of 2 varieties using your method and they are gorgeous !!! Unfortunately the leaves are about 60% bug eaten...Can I please ask what do folks do to keep the leaf eating bugs at bay...PS i am in Central South Carolina😢
I use neem oil for leaf eaters.
What time of year do you recommend to plant?
Wow I actually have a video coming out letter today to answer that. 👍
@@colonyhillshomestead4683 perfect timing
By cutting the top off that Young WEAK tree in that time of the year instead of the winter you just cut it wide open for bugs and diseases to INSTANTLY kill that tree. Smh. All that planning work to RUIN it in seconds
Thanks for your opinion . Tree is doing amazing!!
