Can you Grow Peaches in Cold Climates? Warm Microclimates Can Help!

Peach trees blooming… or not? In this video, we explore how microclimates—even just a few degrees difference—can drastically impact peach blossom timing and fruit production. 🌡️🌳

Join us as we tour several peach and apricot trees within the same city and even the same farm, but with dramatically different growth stages. From backyard fences to brick walls and valley floors to sunny slopes, you'll see how subtle differences in heat, elevation, wind, and sun exposure make all the difference for your fruit trees.

Whether you're in a warmer zone or pushing the limits in a cooler climate, this video will help you better understand where and how to plant your peach trees for maximum success.
