What is the best fertilizer/maintenence practices for peach trees?


Question:I have 2 peach trees with A LOT of peaches growing on them(probably will have 150+ peaches). I want to ensure that they get the necessary fertilizer and care so I dont kill them. What can I do to keep my trees healthy?

Answers:
Since you already have your fruit established, you'll need to maintain the vigor of the tree and fertilize with high rates of nitrogen. Urea (46-0-0 analysis fertilizer) is cheap and easy to obtain.broadcast 1/2 to 1 pound (1 pound for mature trees) evenly around the base of each tree....and irrigate after.

Keep soil moist.not soaked throughout the growing season till harvest.

IF you need the complete fertilizer/maintenance schedule for the entire year.please feel free to write.

Hope this helps. GOOD LUCK!
