- Over the past two years, I've been growing peach trees in the suburbs of Manor Texas, just northeast of Austin. In this video, I'll be sharing my how to guide for planting, maintaining, and harvesting fruit from these trees.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments, and thanks again for watching Austin Texas Gardening!

Ne subscriber here! Great information...so thankful to find this video and your channel. We were debating about getting a peach tree. They flower so beautifully, but we just weren't sure how they would do here in TX!
Thanks for watching! Peaches do great here, out of all the fruit I’ve tried (peaches, plums, banana, mandarin, lemons, limes, grapefruit, figs, and apples), peaches have done the best by far
I planted a large Florida prince this year end of February and it filled up with flowers which I thought was incredible it keep four peaches the tree looks very healthy and full it was a 7 to 8 ft tree from tractor supply unfortunately the birds did their damage all are gone just like my pear and pecan tree these past two years the squirrels got not a little but completely all my pears & pecans before they even had a chance to ripen they were still small very hard but it didn’t stop them. My trees are in direct full Texas scorching sun one of my apple trees the Anna was getting hit with aphids so I sprayed surround which is kaolin clay and it solved my problem, it’s also a sunscreen for the leaves. I don’t want any chemicals on or around my trees. Trying to creat a food forest on my property but this heat in San Antonio Texas is brutal. Thank you
Well done! I haven’t had to deal with the squirrels because my neighborhood doesn’t have developed live oaks. The birds were bad enough, but my buddy who has two 12 foot trees loses all his peaches to squirrels every year
You got that right! SA heat is HELL!
I am trying to learn about peach trees, I just acquired two very young ones in 3.5 gal pots. Yours is the first video I have seen where you leave the center trunk of the tree intact to grow straight up. Most vids say to cut that trunk down to 2 feet or so and let the center of the tree be open. But, hey! You have a lot of fruit!
I dont know much about the advice to cut the tree to 2 feet, but im no expert. I can imagine this being helpful, but I would also expect that it would take many more years to fruit doing this.
I know that letting your tree get too tall is generally not good for fruit or harvesting.
These trees are rooted cuttings and have been in the ground about two years now, so mileage may vary compared to your trees. Good luck with them!
Great video thank you and happy gardening to you!
Thanks for watching!
Wild that I'm slightly down-hill from you by just a few hours yet I don't have peaches but my trees are way larger. I think I'm accidentally destroying the fruit with neonicotinoids that I've been applying immediately after blooming has ended, it's a powerful synthetic neurotoxic insecticide absorbed through the roots & persistent in the soil. I guess I'll switch to sprays & only neonicotinoid my large oak trees (the leaf-hopper swarms in some years are deadly for young trees & neurotoxins are cheaper than new trees).
Howdy Bob! Something very similar happened to a friend of mine, one year, the wasps took all the peaches, and the next year when he sprayed, none of the fruit matured.
I got lucky as well, almost no wasps this year. I assume that won’t be the case in spring/summer 24 and 25
I live in Houston, TX :) 👏👏👏👏
Howdy neighbor!
I just bought an Emerald Dawrf Peach Tree! When is the best time to transplanted? I live in Harker Heights, TX
Springtime is best, right now, before the summer heat and after the last freeze
Nice my problems have the worms and caterpillars 😔
Caterpillars got my cabbage too. I got one head of cabbage though, and a week or two after harvest, as the new heads were growing, caterpillars took it out
You making wonderful job 🍑🍑🍑👏👍
Thanks for your support!!
I got a free peach tree from the city tree giveaway. It came with flowers already on it. Is it too late to transplant it?
It’s a great time to transplant it, spring is ideal
