Self-Pollinating Peach Tree Care
Grow this cold hardy peach tree across the United States in USDA hardiness zones 5-9 in full sun. It needs approximately 450-600 chill hours to have a fruit set meaning it's perfect for the southern USA and loves the hot heat!
Moist, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter is best to keep this peach tree healthy. An annual application of slow-release fertilizer during the active growing season will benefit the tree for structural growth and increase fruit yield. Water thoroughly during the first year of planting to establish a strong root system and during the fruiting period to avoid blossom drop.
It's not necessary to prune the Texstar Peach but it may help with fruit-bearing load and shape. Prune in late winter or very early spring to shape the tree. Thin fruit to prevent breakage of the limbs.
