Peach trees require full sun exposure (at least 6-8 hours daily) and well-drained soil. They prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells and fruit development, but avoid waterlogging. Pruning is essential for shape, fruit production, and disease prevention, typically done in late winter or early spring. Fertilize annually with a balanced fertilizer designed for fruit trees. Protect young trees from pests and diseases through regular inspection and appropriate treatments.
