How to Use Reliance Peach Trees in the Landscape

Give yourself plenty of room to walk all around the tree for easier harvest. In fact, we recommend creating a mulched garden bed rather than growing it in the lawn.

Love Peaches? Create an orchard for yourself, and put your sunshine to work.

Keep the trees under 8 feet for an easier harvest. Simply tip prune in summer to control the size. Decide how large you want to keep your fruit trees, and don't let them grow past that point.

If you have the space, allow a full 20 feet between fruiting varieties. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant Peach trees in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. The drying rays of morning sun are best to keep your tree in tip-top shape.

Provide plenty of good air circulation is important, too. Don't plant Peach trees too close to structures, or in a low-lying spot where air may be trapped.

Fertile, well-drained soils will give the best results. Use a raised planting bed to improve poor drainage. Bring in additional soil 12 to 18 inches above the soil line and 3 feet wide.

This productive variety needs thinning for best results. Remove the smaller fruit, spacing about every 5 inches. You'll enjoy a better harvest of full-sized fruit if you thin out your early fruit set.

Reliance Peach trees need a medium amount of water regularly.Apply mulch over the top of the root system to a depth of 3 inches; then spread the mulch out 3 feet from the outside of the canopy.

Prune in late winter to open the canopy to sunlight and good air circulation. Remove branches that cross or shade each other out. Select the one you'll keep and remove the other.

If you are in a cold winter zone, give the Reliance Peach tree a try. After all, they'll develop a flavorful harvest all the way up into Canada!

It's a good feeling to provide fresh fruit for your family and friends. Order yours today, we'll sell out quickly!

Peach Tree Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Reliance Peach Trees to bear fruit?

Nature Hills Nursery sells fruit trees with mature root systems that are already three to four years old, so you’ll enjoy fruit sooner than you would with younger trees! Expect a young peach tree to begin fruiting by the 3rd year after you plant it.

How Fast Do Reliance Peach Trees Grow?

Be sure to plant your peach in a sunny and well-drained location. Once your Reliance (Prunus persica 'Reliance') has been established (after the first year), it can typically add 12-18 inches of new growth in a growing season. If your plants are adding less than that in a season, it may be worth your while to check the fertility level.

Where do Reliance Peach Trees Grow Best?

Peach trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more.

Do You Need 2 Peach Trees to Produce Fruit?

All peach trees are self-fertile, however planting more than one peach tree that blooms at about the same time, boosts yields on both trees and extends your harvest time!

Reliances are typically ready to harvest in July to August. Keep in mind exact harvest times are subject to change depending on the hardiness zones they’re being grown in.

Early-Season? Mid-Season? Late-Season? The terminology can be confusing for new peach tree growers. Weather, climate and your tree determine when it’s ripe.
