Boxed perfect. Shipped on time. Excellent quality stock. About the only thing you could do to improve my experience would be to fly out to Maine and plant them for me.

I have been buying from your nursery for years, and hands down your citrus has survived the best out of all of my sources. I have never lost a plant in my colder climate.

Absolutely beautiful trees, especially compared to some of the other mail order bare roots I have gotten from other companies.

Planting & Care – Avalon Pride Peach

Site Selection

  • Choose a sunny location where the tree can receive good light throughout the day, supporting healthy growth and fruit quality.
  • Good airflow helps maintain clean foliage and overall tree health.

Soil Preparation

  • Plant in well-drained soil to prevent excess moisture around the roots.
  • If soil tends to stay wet, planting on a slight mound or raised area improves drainage.

Planting Instructions

  1. Plant slightly deeper than the nursery soil line to account for settling (about 1 inch for container-grown trees); for bare-root trees, plant so the root flare sits at or just above finished soil level.
  2. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets.
  3. Apply a light layer of mulch to conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

  • Water deeply after planting to fully soak the root zone and encourage downward root growth.
  • During the first growing season, water regularly and deeply, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Once established, deeper, less frequent watering supports healthy growth and fruit quality.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support growth and fruit development.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen late in the season, which can reduce fruit quality.

Pruning

  • Train to an open-center form to allow sunlight to reach the interior of the tree.
  • Annual pruning supports productivity, airflow, and manageable tree size.
  • Thin fruit early to improve size and reduce branch stress.

Harvest & Use

  • Harvest when fruit is fully colored and slightly soft for best flavor.
  • Excellent for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and preserving.

General Tips

  • Allow fruit to fully ripen on the tree to develop maximum sweetness.
  • Consistent care supports reliable crops year after year.
