Pixies Gardens' 4-in-1 Peach Cocktail Tree grows in zones 5-9, naturally producing 4 types of peaches on a single tree. Perfect for small gardens!
As I mentioned, a Peach Cocktail Tree is a type of fruit tree that is grafted with 2-4 different varieties of peaches. This allows the tree to produce a variety of peaches throughout the season, from early to late summer. The specific varieties of peaches that are grafted onto the tree will vary depending on the nursery or grower.
Peach Cocktail Trees are self-pollinating, so they do not need another peach tree nearby to produce fruit. However, they do need full sun and well-drained soil to thrive. They are also susceptible to pests and diseases, so it is important to take preventive measures.
Here are some tips for growing a Peach Cocktail Tree:
- Plant the tree in full sun, in a location that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
- The soil should be well-drained and loamy.
- Amend the soil with compost or manure before planting.
- Water the tree regularly, especially during the first year after planting.
- Fertilize the tree in the spring and fall with a balanced fertilizer.
- Prune the tree in the winter to remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches.
- Protect the tree from pests and diseases.
