Growing & care
- Care & pruning
- Prune to an open-center form and thin developing fruit so branches are not overloaded. Watch for peach leaf curl and brown rot.
- Rootstock & size
- For grafted fruit trees, mature size and time to fruit depend on the rootstock as well as pruning. Check the individual tree tag when selecting planting space.
- Size & rootstock
- Mature size and spacing depend on the cultivar and rootstock. Ask which rootstock is supplied before choosing a planting location.
