What is the best fertilizer for peach trees?
Peach trees need to be fertilized regularly to produce healthy fruit. A good fertilizer for peach trees is one that is high in nitrogen and potassium.
Apply fertilizer to the soil around the tree three times per year: once in the spring, once in the summer, and once in the fall.
When do peach trees bear fruit?
Peach trees typically take 3-5 years to produce fruit. This can vary depending on the climate and the specific variety of peach trees.
What is the best way to store peaches?
Fresh peaches can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. After that, they should be refrigerated.
And of course, you can dehydrate peaches so you can enjoy them year-round. Learn about storing dehydrate food here.
VITAMINS: Vitamin A and Vitamin C, followed by Vitamin K, Choline, and Folate.
MINERALS: High in Potassium, followed by Phosphorus, Magnesium, Fluoride, and Calcium.
Peaches also contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids too!
NOTE: If you want to make dehydrating peaches a little easier on yourself, how about dehydrating frozen peaches? Just a thought ... Yes, I know they're already processed, i.e. 'storable', but you'll be freeing up space in your freezer!
If you want to know how to dehydrate peaches that are frozen, ignore steps 1 and 2.
If you've got plump fresh peaches and you are cutting them in half AND you use an Excalibur Dehydrator---you're in luck!
What? How so? Sometimes we don't get enough room between trays with biggish fruit, even sliced fruit, so when using an Excalibur dehydrator, we can remove a tray and leave a space.
This is one of the main reasons why I purchased a Nesco AND an Excalibur dehydrator!
With a Nesco dehydrator, you have to make the pieces fit as they don't have 'spacer' trays. Hey, maybe that's something they could invent. (Yeah, right).
Dehydrated peaches can be used in a variety of ways. They can be eaten as a snack, added to cereals or oatmeal, or used in baking.
To rehydrate dehydrated peaches, simply soak them in water for about 30 minutes.

The best area for peach trees is in a place with full sun and well-drained soil.
The trees should be spaced about 8-10 feet apart.
When planting peach trees, it’s important to plant them at the same depth they were growing in the nursery.
This will help the roots establish themselves quickly.
A few years ago, my husband and I and my mom went to visit Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah, Georgia. As we toured Georgia, we did NOT see one "Georgia Peaches for Sale" sign.
It was only on our way home when we drove through the Florida panhandle that we finally saw a "Georgia Peaches for Sale" sign!
Do you think the folk in Georgia know they're so good and they were hiding them from us? :-)
