Care Notes

Plant in well-drained soil; resents wet feet. In PNW, peach leaf curl is a serious threat in cool wet springs; apply copper or sulfur dormant spray in late fall after leaf drop and again just before bud swell. Site with maximum sun and good air circulation; avoid east-facing walls where morning moisture dries slowly. Watch for bacterial canker on pruning wounds; disinfect tools between cuts.
