Peach

Description

Prunus

Growing in Phoenix: One of the most delicious fruits that announce the summer!  Peaches will take full sun once established but will be better with afternoon shade. They need slightly acidic to neutral soil and deep watering. This is a deciduous fruit and does not require winter protection. Add chelated iron as needed if it becomes chlorotic in summer.  We carry a selection of varieties suitable for the Phoenix climate and that are self-fruitful. Suitable for container growing. 

See the planting and care guide page for planting and watering instructions.
