How do I grow peach trees in Central Florida Zone 9A 

Well it's 2023 and I enjoyed the video. I just bought 2 Florida King peache trees and going to get 1 or 2 more and maybe plum and pear ,I have the space just need the strength. At 72 I want to, you know for my 2 grand girls 6and 10 they love it. So they can enjoy them after I'm gone. I have prayed over them to bare fruits and I believe that they will. Amen. I will be watching for more advice, thank you

I am in Ocala and need to prune my Peach Trees.

The mulch is keeping everything moist. Keep mulching!

I just moved to Florida and I want to grow everything you are growing. I am just 20 minutes south west of Gainesville and 30 minutes north west of Ocala. I am determined and have read so much about the wood chips, used them in WA state and they are fantastic. I am excited but won’t be able to start maybe until fall. But thanks so much as I am following your lead! Peaches, figs, mangos, avocados, pineapples, apples, blueberries, star fruit, palmagranite, kumquat, lemons, maybe even a paw paw if I can find one. Great video! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the tips! In zone 9a. Have one Florida Prince peach tree and will add more. Up near Starke area

He mentioned Dave Wilson nursery I also watch his stuff. Nice work!

I just picked up a 6ft flordaprince for $21. I can't wait to get home and put it in the ground. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Great info, thanks bro.

Well done! 👍👍

Nice man. I'm in zone 9a up on the Mississippi coast

Great man I'm going to shop for Scarlet beauty trees now

Thank you so much for sharing. I'll certainly take your advice on the peach trees. We just planted two low chill varieties this year in our food forest and they need pruning. We're in Pinellas and we're growing Cripps Pink and red Fuji apple trees along with the low chill Anna and Golden Dorsett. We have them planted two to a hole. Look into Kuffel Creek nursery if you haven't already. Great resource for growing apple trees in our unique climate. Wonderful video! Thanks again.

Wow man my neighbor had three peach trees in his yard for years he told me. Never produced anything and he removed them. I put a peach tree in last year that died right off.. We planted a dwarf apple and pear trees and they are doing good. I need to get a couple more trees maybe a Einshamir and another pear tree. Would love to grow some cherries, blueberries, and maybe some plumbs

I lived in zone 9b, I have a Hayden tree about 20 to 25 feet tall, I never watered it, no irrigation lines in that area also. 🌴

The little thing after Florida home pear looks like purple showers aka mexican petunia. They spread like wild. I'd remove them.

Beautiful trees! I have two Florida Kings in my large air pots right now. I am looking for a permanent spot on my property for them.

Awesome bro!

Subscribed. First year gardening. Got tons of wood chips. Not mixing into soil, just as top mulch. Almost 4 months and I see soil improvement. Found you from recent purchase of Fla peach tree.t live in Summerfield, near Ocala. Man, one plant does real well here is Moringa. supposed to be super food. Eat the leaves raw or cooked. The amazing thing about it is how easy the cuttings grow. Any small branch with nodes and brown bark skin, pencil thin and up. All I did was skin about 4 inches of bottom brown skin to show green and then stick it in the ground. I wonder if you consider using your cuttings to grow. My gardening started actually in 2018 when lady gave me tiny moringq. It grew taller than my house but died that winter, or so I thought. Then it came back double with thicker trunks. 2019 winter was mild so it didn't die. Now its taller than my house again. I pruned it some, harvest those leaves still in fridge and then planted those cuttings. I think 4 died and 6 are growing like mad. But when covid hit that's when I went gardening serious. My blueberries have mixed results. My soil ph is 7. I read blueberries need acidic so I mixed sulfer into soil on 4 of them to experiment. 1 died and other 3 look poor. The others in 7 ph are doing fine. I may have to extract sulfer. The ph got lower 4.6 which is supposed to be optimal. One of my figs produced, the other has small bud fruit that fall off. My guava trees are doing excellent. I got fig cuttings to grow also. 50/50 success on those cuttings. As to tomatoes, not so good. But I started late on them, In late April. 30 plants, better boys, gave me only 27 tomatoes. Now they tell me the time to plant is now. Florida has to plan different because of too much heat. Got a good Fla gardening book.Totally crazy easy Florida gardening by David the Good

Thank you very much. I live in Flagler County FL. Just bought Florida Prince Peach Tree today and I believe I need another 1-2 of same? or different ?variety. What do you think? Your pruning technique was just what I needed to see. Thanks for the mulching idea. My boyfriend thinks I am crazy picking up bags of leaves from neighbors driveways and cardboard. Oh well. hahaha. Love growing food crops. Thanks.

Why don't you have any veggies growing in that beautiful soil You could plant veggies in between your trees n have everything you need. I was looking at peach trees today but I am from Ohio n was not sure what trees do best here I have citrus fig barbatos cherry blueberry,banana pineapple n lots of veggies I picked a head of cabbage today n took out a zucchini plant that gave me loads of them. Thank you for sharing n best of luck in spring

“Better than a fig newton.” Too funny.

Do you have an update on these trees

I detect a little bit of a New Orleans accent in you bro🤗

Great content man!

Can u do a video explaining pruning

Look at this - look at it! Would you just look at it??

Do you have any problems with the boron It’s a bug that lays eggs under the bark and the worms eat into the lower stem , signs would be small holes and oozing golden color sap

How do you keep them from get boring beetles in them

What time of year did you cut the branches? Thanks

How did your trees/plants do after this winter, 2020/2021? I'm also in 9A, but in Pensacola

Awesome growth. One question. When you say you pruned off the trunk of each small tree, did you leave the plant without any foliage?

Just planted a Tropic Beauty yesterday (5/1/22 in Central FL), should I heavy prune this year like you did or wait till next year to give a chance for the tree to get a little established?

I just bought two trees at Walmart for $ 6.24

Its look Mango 🥭 tree

Would ya just look at it!

I am also in volushia fl have 7 acres in Samsula . Looking to grow some trees. Just planted a bunch of chestnut trees. Where are you buying your fruit trees?

I’m in Louisiana, also zone 9a. I bought 2 peach trees last year 1 died and 1 is still dormant but I think it may die. I bought 2 this year and they seem to be ok so far. They are dwarfs so I’m growing them in containers to have more control of the soil since it rained so much this past winter. The problem is that I bought them are Lowe’s, and online nurseries and I found out after researching the varieties I have, they all need atleast 600-800 chill hours. I think the problem I’m having is I’m choosing the wrong varieties of peach. Although they say they grow in my zone, I don’t think they are getting enough chill hours. Would you say the Florida king is a good choice for low chill?

Where did you buy the Florida prince?

Dude what's the temperature there?

What lowest chill hours peach tree? Florida Glo, UF Gold?

Going to line my fence with a boatload of artichoke plants. Check out "plant abundance" channel. He has a channel not far from you. He has a good forest going

I live in Volusia County, is there a local nursery you recommend?

Wow, the camera jiggling makes this unwatchable. Sound like the content would have been interesting

Borers. Not Boran lol

You definitely aren’t in zone 9a!
