Over the past two years, I’ve been growing peach trees in the suburbs of Manor Texas, just northeast of Austin. In this video, I’ll be sharing my how to guide for planting, maintaining, and harvesting fruit from these trees.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments, and thanks again for watching Austin Texas Gardening!

Wild that I'm slightly down-hill from you by just a few hours yet I don't have peaches but my trees are way larger. I think I'm accidentally destroying the fruit with neonicotinoids that I've been applying immediately after blooming has ended, it's a powerful synthetic neurotoxic insecticide absorbed through the roots & persistent in the soil. I guess I'll switch to sprays & only neonicotinoid my large oak trees (the leaf-hopper swarms in some years are deadly for young trees & neurotoxins are cheaper than new trees).
Nice my problems have the worms and caterpillars 😔
You making wonderful job 🍑🍑🍑👏👍
I planted a large Florida prince this year end of February and it filled up with flowers which I thought was incredible it keep four peaches the tree looks very healthy and full it was a 7 to 8 ft tree from tractor supply unfortunately the birds did their damage all are gone just like my pear and pecan tree these past two years the squirrels got not a little but completely all my pears & pecans before they even had a chance to ripen they were still small very hard but it didn’t stop them. My trees are in direct full Texas scorching sun one of my apple trees the Anna was getting hit with aphids so I sprayed surround which is kaolin clay and it solved my problem, it’s also a sunscreen for the leaves. I don’t want any chemicals on or around my trees. Trying to creat a food forest on my property but this heat in San Antonio Texas is brutal. Thank you
