Choose a variety suited to your climate zone and plant in a sunny spot with good drainage. Peach trees require patience - you won't get fruit for 2-3 years - but biting into a sun-warmed peach from your own tree is worth the wait, and the spring blossoms are absolutely stunning.

People who tried this

โ€œThe first thing I did โ€“ plant a peach tree. Now I knew nothing about growing peaches, except that I liked them and finally lived somewhere with a growing season that was longer than 60 days. We went to the local ShopKo, bought a tree and put it in the ground. It grew. And grew. And quickly developed large, beautiful, fuzzy, sun-kissed orbs of deliciousness. But I still knew next to nothing about growing peaches and didnโ€™t thin the tree enough. So branches broke, even as the tree grew larger.โ€

โ€œFrom my peaches which will come from the peach tree in my garden, I would rather than take peaches which come from the supermarket. I have also grown this peach tree from a seed and had to wait 4 years for it to grow fruits. But in my opinion it was worth the wait. The peaches are small but very tasty and sweet!โ€
