A Little History on Peach Cultivation:
Peach trees generally thrive in warm climates with temperatures between 50°F and 72°F and need full sun exposure. The soil should be deep, well-drained, airy, and fertile at a depth of more than 20 inches.
Most peach varieties begin to bear fruit three years after planting and live for approximately 12 years. Some varieties require between 600 to 1,000 “chill hours” (colder temperatures) to fruit, though low-chill varieties requiring only 250 hours (about 10 days) have been developed, making it possible to grow them in warmer climates. During winter, essential chemical reactions occur before the tree begins to grow again. Once the cold season ends, the plant enters a period of quiescence, a type of dormancy where buds bloom and grow as enough heat accumulates.
Some types of peaches are delicate, while others can tolerate lower temperatures. Generally, intense summer heat is necessary to ripen the fruit, with average temperatures in the hottest month between 68°F and 86°F. Another concern for many growers is spring frost. Peach trees tend to bloom early in the spring, and buds are often damaged if temperatures drop below 25°F. However, if the flowers are not fully open, they can sometimes tolerate slightly colder temperatures.
