#ProPlantTips For Care

Fruiting trees require full sun for the best crops and health of your tree. Plant where it can receive at least 6 hours of full sun per day.

Hardy in USDA growing zones 7-10, Kaweah can tolerate heat and humidity. Amazingly, Kaweah Peach doesn't require a long chill time for it to set fruit for the next year, just 500 hours or less, perfect for climates with mild winters!

Preferring enriched, organic, well-drained soil, fruit trees cannot tolerate soggy soil. Requiring average, but consistent moisture throughout the year, especially during fruiting season and summer. Water young trees especially well while they are establishing.

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. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. 

Prune your tree often to keep it healthy and keep its vigorous growth in check. Summer pruning is best for removing suckers and water growth, plus to shape your tree, while late winter pruning when your tree is dormant is best to open the canopy for air circulation and sunlight, as well as removing crossing branches and anything growing into the interior. Winter pruning is also when you can see the internal structure best to remove dead, damaged or diseased limbs.

A fantastic tree for all your garden and culinary needs, the Kaweah Peach is as beautiful as it is useful! We can't encourage you enough - don't wait to reserve yours. The longer you wait to plant it, the longer you have to wait to eat it!
