Peach 'Yellow Peach'Prunus persica

Fruit trees do not suffer weed competition well. Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. In spring, while the ground is moist, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost around the base of the tree, taking care not to mound it up against the stem. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer. Feed and water peach trees regularly during particularly dry periods. When fruits are walnut sized they should be thinned to one fruit per cluster, at a spacing of 22cm (9") apart.

When pruning peach trees it is important to avoid winter pruning as this leaves them prone to silver leaf disease. This dwarf peach is slow-growing and requires only minimal pruning. To maintain a compact, bushy tree pinch the tops from the new shoots with your thumb and forefinger in the spring. Remove any damaged, badly placed or diseased wood.
