i bought a new peach tree this year. so far its doing great. i have it in full sun and i used some VIGOR fertilizer spikes for fruit and nut trees. you bang one into the ground about 2 feet from the trunk and repeat after 3 months or so.... so far its doing really well. but im not gonna get peaches this year.its too new. i can see that. Hopefully next year.
