How To Plant a Backyard Peach Tree

🍑 Ready to plant your own peach tree at home? In this video, we walk you through every step of planting a backyard peach tree — from choosing the right spot, digging through tough soil layers, and prepping the root ball, all the way to watering, fertilizing, mulching, and first-year pruning.

We are planting the Red Haven peach tree we picked out in our last video:    • Choosing the BEST Peach Variety to Plant   beside an existing O’Henry tree to extend our peach harvest season from mid-July through September. You’ll learn practical tips on spacing, drainage, handling hardpan soil, and tree orientation to give your peach tree the best possible start.

Whether you're working with a small suburban yard or starting your own home orchard, this guide will help you plant for success.
