How to grow peach
Prunus persica
When to plant peach
Clemson Extension says to plant peach trees while fully dormant, from early December to mid-March, and as early as possible so the roots establish before spring growth begins.
Peach is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
