#ProPlantTips For Care
Belle of Georgia Peach Trees are hardy trees, disease resistant and self-pollinating. Resistant to bacterial leaf spot and brown rot.
Fruit trees need full sun to develop the best fruit, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, these are readily adaptable and tolerant trees in many growing zones.
Belle of Georgia adapts to a variety of soils, even tolerating poor soil, just as long as it is well-drained. For best results though, provide your tree with a good start in rich, organic soil, amended with manure and compost in a well-drained soil site.
For best results, fertilize your tree regularly with Dr. Earth Fruit Tree Fertilizer or a good organic, slow-release fertilizer. Add Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.
Provide ample water for your young tree while it becomes established, not allowing it to dry out between waterings. Then reduce your watering to moderate, yet consistent moisture during the heat of summer and when fruiting.
While drought-tolerant, it’s best to protect your investment by providing supplemental watering in times of need. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.
Prune to keep an open canopy for sunlight and airflow to reach the interior of the tree, and to remove dead, diseased or damaged limbs. Reaching 18-25 feet tall and 15-20 feet wide, It is easy to maintain this tree much smaller if needed, that way any sized yard can accommodate their own Peach tree!
