When your peach tree may benefit from feeding

  • During the active growing season, when new shoots, leaves, flowers or fruit are forming
  • When plants have been growing in the same bed or container for several seasons
  • After heavy rain or frequent irrigation, which can carry nutrients below the root zone
  • For plants in containers, raised beds or sandy soils that hold few nutrients
  • From flowering through fruit set, when demand for nutrients is highest

Plant appearance can also be affected by light, watering, roots, temperature, and other growing conditions, so feeding is one part of overall plant care.

How to care for peach trees

Light

Full sun, eight hours or more. Peaches ripen sweeter with all-day sun, and air moving through an open canopy keeps the fruit and leaves in better shape.

Water

Water deeply every week to ten days in dry weather, about 10 gallons for a young tree. Keep it steady while fruit sizes up, then ease off at ripening.

Soil

Sandy loam that drains fast, pH 6.0 to 6.5. Peaches will not survive soggy ground, so plant on a rise if your soil stays wet through winter.

Pruning

Prune hard each late winter to an open vase shape. Peaches fruit on last year's wood, so clearing out old growth is what keeps the crop coming.

Feeding

Feed Peach Tree Fertilizer every one to two weeks in spring and summer, and about once a month in fall and winter, mixed into your watering routine.

Harvest

Thin young fruit to one peach every six inches once they reach marble size. Pick when the background color turns from green to gold and the flesh gives slightly.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I feed my peach tree?

Peach Tree Fertilizer is built for consistent feeding, because peaches grow fast and carry a heavy crop in the same season. Feed every 1–2 weeks in spring and summer through growth and fruit development, and every 4 weeks in fall and winter, at 2 tablespoons per gallon in a watering can or the 1-ounce setting on a hose-end sprayer. A tree sizing dozens of peaches at once does better on that steady supply than on one or two large applications a year.

Why is my peach fruit small? Will feeding fix it?

Feeding supports it, but thinning is the bigger factor. Peaches set far more fruit than a tree can size, and an overloaded, unthinned tree divides its resources across too many peaches, so each stays small. Thin early in the season to about 6–8 inches between fruits. Then Peach Tree Fertilizer does its part: potassium at 5.1% supports fruit size, sugar and firmness, and calcium firms the flesh. Steady feeding on a properly thinned tree is what produces large peaches.

My tree bloomed but set little fruit — why?

Frost is the most common cause. Peaches bloom very early, and a late frost can kill the blossoms before they set, so a heavy bloom followed by little fruit often traces back to a cold night. Most peach varieties are self-fertile, so pollination is rarely the issue. Nutrition is the other factor to check: a shortfall of boron and zinc limits fruit set, and Peach Tree Fertilizer carries both, so a tree fed on the regular schedule through bloom has what it needs when the weather cooperates.

Will this burn my tree?

Peach Tree Fertilizer is a dilute liquid feed, and dilution is what matters here. Fertilizer burn happens when concentrated salts sit against the roots: too much product in too little water, or granules piled at the base of a tree. Mixed at 2 tablespoons per gallon and applied every 1–2 weeks, the nutrients arrive in solution across the root zone at a strength the roots take up as they water. For newly planted or bare-root peaches still establishing, start at half strength for the first two feedings.

When will I see results?

New growth greens up within the first few weeks of feeding, since all of the nitrogen in Peach Tree Fertilizer is nitrate nitrogen and reaches the roots in solution as you water. Fruit quality follows the season’s crop: potassium and calcium in the formula support size, sugar and firm flesh as the peaches fill. A tree that is fed consistently and thinned properly tends to produce larger, sweeter fruit, and because peaches build reserves from one year into the next, the benefit compounds over time.
