Your Peach Tree
| In
December
to
January
of the first year
(three months after planting the tree), when the new buds start to
break, cut the tree back to roughly 60cm (2 ft) above ground. It is
essential that at least two left and two right facing buds remain - one from each
will form the principal structure of the tree. See the diagram to the
right. |

In
the first summer, select the strongest left and right branches and remove
all other shoots from the main stem. Cut back the central trunk back to
10cm (4in) above the highest branch. As the summer progresses, tie the
two branches to the wires ensuring they are pointing upwards at a 45
degree angle. See the diagram to the left - note that at this stage of
the year, the tree will be covered in foliage |
In
December
to
January
of the second winter, cut the two side branches back to within 45cm (18in) of
the main stem.

GardenAction provides the amateur gardener with lots of
information for free. If you would like to donate some money
to us, DON'T!
Instead, we ask that make a small
donation to a very worthwhile charity. Money contributed
up to mid July 2008 will go to CAMDA and CDPF.
You donate direct to them by supporting a GardenAction author
in his attempt to travel from England to Mongolia at his own
expense. You donate direct to the charity. Even a couple of
pounds will be greatly appreciated.
