Tips to Grow Peaches:

  1. Arrange good quality peach graft.
  2. The soil should be well drained, moderately fertile and slightly acidic.
  3. Plant the graft in the soil , the graft must be 2-3 inches above the surface of the soil. Repot the plant after 2 years in a 20 inches wide pot.
  4. We can add compost made by kitchen waste for better growth.
  5. We can harvest peaches when they are fully ripe, the ground color of the fruit changes from green to completely yellow. No green should be left on the fruit. They should come off the tree with only a slight twist.
