Peach Trees

Enjoy the sweet rewards of homegrown fresh produce with our selection of Peach Trees (Prunus persica). A cornerstone of sustainable living and organic gardening, these trees bring both beauty and bounty to your edible landscaping project. Peach trees are surprisingly easy to grow, making them a beginner-friendly choice for anyone starting a productive garden. Many are a high-yield, heritage variety, offering an abundance of delicious fruit. While some are disease resistant, good fruit tree care ensures a healthy tree.

For planting in Auckland, autumn planting is an option, but the best results come from winter (June to August) or early spring planting when the trees are dormant. This allows them to establish before the growing season. Most peach trees are self-fertile, so you only need one for a successful harvest, though having more can increase fruit set, making them pollinator-friendly. Even small spaces can host a tree with options for container growing. For thriving trees, choose a spot in full sun with well-drained soil. Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods. Key pruning tips include shaping the tree in winter to encourage new growth, which is where fruit will form.
