Yes, peach trees can be grown successfully in large containers, especially dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties. They require a substantial pot size, good drainage, and consistent watering. Container growing often necessitates more frequent feeding and protection during winter.

Yes, dwarf peach tree varieties are suitable for container growing. They require a large pot with good drainage, quality potting compost, and consistent watering and feeding. Ensure the container is moved to a sheltered spot during harsh winters.

Yes, pruning is vital for maintaining tree health, shape, and encouraging fruit production. The best time for major pruning is in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant. Light summer pruning can also be done after harvest to manage growth.

Peaches are usually ready for harvest in late summer, often from July to September, depending on the variety and local climate. Fruit ripens quickly, so checking regularly is important. Pick when the fruit yields slightly to a gentle squeeze and has a fragrant aroma.

Young trees need consistent moisture to establish, while mature trees require deep watering during dry periods, particularly when fruiting. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering frequency as the fruit ripens to enhance flavour.

Common issues include peach leaf curl, a fungal disease causing distorted leaves, and aphids. Brown rot can also affect fruit, especially in humid conditions. Regular inspection and appropriate cultural practices help manage these problems.

Peach trees require full sun exposure, meaning at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Adequate sunlight is essential for fruit development, sweetness, and overall tree health. Planting in a sunny, sheltered spot is highly recommended.

Peach trees thrive in well-drained, fertile loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0 to 7.0). Good drainage is crucial to prevent root diseases. Incorporating organic matter can improve soil structure and fertility.

The best time to plant a peach tree is typically between late autumn and early spring, while the tree is dormant. This allows the roots to establish before warmer weather encourages new growth. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged or frozen during planting.
