Today we are going to talk about how to pick out and plant a good peach tree. This particular
variety right here does not need a cross pollinator. So you can get just one peach tree of this
particular variety and you will get fruit. You don't need two of these like with an apple
and a cherry and a pair, you need two to cross pollinate. This one is self fertile. It looks
pretty good, it's not too many bare branches, just a few here but you can just trim those
off. When planting this guy you want to plant it in full sun and you want to dig your hole
about twice the size of this pot right here. And you want to put a bag of top soil in and
around the sides. And pack it in real good and water it in, watering it for the first
season is very important. We water ours at least twice a day. I recommend you water yours
at least once a day to get its optimum growth. This one is going to get about fifteen feet
tall and about eight feet wide in probably ten years or so. So you want to give it enough
room to get that big. And just don't forget to water it, full sun, and water it. And it
should be good to go.
