Key Plant Characteristics
Size: Grows 10 to 20 feet tall (3 to 6 meters) with a 6 to 10-foot spread, though pruning keeps most cultivated trees around 10 to 15 feet.
Lifespan: Relatively short-lived compared to other fruit trees, averaging 12 to 20 years.
Leaves & Flowers: Features narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and fragrant pink or white blossoms that bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge.
Fruit Type: Round, stone fruits (drupes) featuring a central pit. They are categorized as freestone (pit separates easily) or clingstone (flesh sticks to the pit), with either yellow or white inner flesh.
Growing Requirements
Sunlight: Needs full sun (6 to 8+ hours of direct sunlight daily) to sweeten the fruit and keep the foliage dry.
Soil: Requires loose, well-draining sandy-loam or loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 6.5).
Watering: Prefers deep, infrequent watering (about 1 inch per week), keeping the soil evenly moist while fruits are developing.
Pollination: Most common peach varieties are self-fertile (self-pollinating), meaning you only need a single tree to get fruit.
