How to Plant
STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
Care Guide

Plant peach trees in deep, well-drained, sandy soil and in an area with plenty of sunlight. Planting should be done in the spring. Prune once a year, removing vertical branches to encourage lateral growth.

Eh. Expected better.

Both trees I ordered arrived in really rough shape. The Elberta was the worst of the two. Leaves all drooped and brown, plant was very dry and unhappy. I planted it, fed it and fertilized it along with twice a day heavy watering, I'll be shocked if it makes it. The red peach tree, will most likely make it with the fertilizer and watering.

Tree Arrive a day early and was boxed well. Was very happy. After planting I ran to Lowe’s for some Topsoil and seen they had the same peach trees that were lager and half the price. :(
