Naturally Delicious, Easy-to-Enjoy Peaches

This heirloom peach variety will transport you back to your childhood of eating sun-kissed peaches straight from the tree, the juices running down your face. The Bounty Peach Tree is best known for producing plenty of juicy, yellow fruit full of flavor.

Fragrant pinkish-white blooms cover the Bounty Peach Tree in spring, which the bees adore. But no bees are required! By August, this self-pollinating plant will have ripened peaches ready for picking all on its own. This makes it the perfect addition for woodland gardens, sunny corners, espalier enthusiasts, and those who want an edible garden.

Hardier than most peach varieties, the Bounty Peach Tree is one tough peach. It’s resistant to leaf spot and is non-browning. A freestone peach, the pit pulls away easily from the fruit for easy eating, canning, and freezing.

When you order the Bounty Peach Tree, get ready to make all kinds of ice cream, pies, and jams with the large bounty of peaches coming your way. Order it straight to your door today!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant your Bounty Peach Tree in a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sun daily in well-draining soil. Consider planting it in a place sheltered from the wind but where it will also receive enough circulation to prevent disease.

When ready to plant, dig a hole twice the size of the tree’s root ball and mix in compost to make the soil fertile. Fill in the hole, carefully packing the soil to avoid air pockets. Give the newly planted peach tree a good watering.

2. Watering: In the first year, your Bounty Peach Tree will require extra water to help establish itself. When there has been no rain for a week, give your peach tree a drink. Bring your hose to the tree’s base and let it soak deep into the root structure. Avoid overwatering and drowning the roots.

After the first year, your peach tree shouldn’t need any supplemental watering unless it’s undergoing a severe drought.

3. Fertilization: There is no need to fertilize your Bounty Peach Tree before it bears fruit, which can take 2-4 years. However, if the growth is slow (below 12-18 inches a year), consider fertilizing it in spring.

When the tree bears fruit, fertilize once a month as soon as the ground is workable. Stop by July 1st to avoid injuring the plant.

4. Pruning: Peach trees must be pruned to grow well. Prune your peach tree every year while the tree is dormant in late winter to early spring. It’s a good idea to keep the shape in mind while pruning, trying to prune trees to have an open center. To do this, ensure the tree only has 3-4 primary branches going in a v shape.

5. Pollination: The Bounty Peach Tree is self-pollinating, meaning you only need one tree to get fruit. However, if you plant another, you’ll get a much higher yield per tree. Bees are the tree’s primary pollinators.
