Peach trees thrive in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and require regular pruning, fertilising, and pest management to produce a healthy crop. They need a specific number of winter chill hours to fruit successfully, so choose a variety suited to your climate zone. Water deeply and consistently during the growing season, especially as fruit develops, and monitor closely for common issues like peach leaf curl and brown rot.
