Peaches

jmsieglaff · January 5, 2017

I'm in zone 5 (5a more specifically) and I'm looking to grow 2 peach trees in our small yard. Anyone in zones 4 and 5, and maybe even zone 6, would you recommend growing them in our area? I'm looking at some self-pollinating dwarf trees, one early ripening (late June/early July) and one late riping one (mid September). Do you have problems with bugs or disease? I'd rather not put in trees that I need to spray with pesticides just to get edible fruit.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
