<h2>Planting & Care – Landt Peach</h2>
<h3>Site Selection</h3>
<ul>
<li>Choose a sunny location where the tree receives consistent light throughout the day to support strong growth and fruit quality.</li>
<li>Good airflow helps maintain healthy foliage, especially in regions with cool or damp spring weather.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Soil Preparation</h3>
<ul>
<li>Plant in well-drained soil to prevent excess moisture around the roots.</li>
<li>If soil tends to stay wet, planting on a slight mound or raised area improves drainage.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Planting Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and remove air pockets.</li>
<li>Apply a light layer of mulch to conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Watering & Fertilizing</h3>
<ul>
<li>Water deeply after planting to fully soak the root zone and encourage downward root growth.</li>
<li>During the first growing season, water regularly and deeply, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.</li>
<li>Once established, deeper, less frequent watering supports healthy growth and fruit quality.</li>
<li>Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support growth and fruit development.</li>
<li>Avoid excessive nitrogen late in the season, which can reduce fruit quality.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pruning</h3>
<ul>
<li>Train to an open-center form to allow sunlight to reach the interior of the tree.</li>
<li>Annual pruning supports productivity, airflow, and manageable tree size.</li>
<li>Thin fruit early to improve size and reduce branch stress.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Harvest & Use</h3>
<ul>
<li>Harvest when fruit is fully colored and slightly soft for best flavor.</li>
<li>Excellent for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and preserving.</li>
</ul>
<h3>General Tips</h3>
<ul>
<li>Allow fruit to fully ripen on the tree to develop maximum sweetness.</li>
<li>Consistent care supports dependable harvests.</li>
</ul>
