First, for any trees in general and fruit trees in particular, it's just as important what you do before planting as what you do after. Prior to planting, we want to get the soil PH up to over 6 (liming), grow some Sudan Grass (organic matter) and plow down remedial cover crops (mustard, etc.) for soil remediation. Also deep ripping is helpful. The soil must be well-drained with good tilth. We plant 18 (in row) X 24 (between rows) feet. The graft union must be left at about 4 inches above ground level. In 3-4 years we want to fill that space and leave about 80 inches for tractor work in the middle. We can bear the tree in as little as 2-3 years. Feed the trees with two applications totaling about .4 lb. of nitrogen with an NPK fertilizer each year at the tree dripline. The curse for peach trees is Bacterial Spot. Therefore you should consider BS resistant varieties. There is plenty of quality and free information on the internet and in nursery catalogs regarding these details. Look to Clemson University (S.C.), Georgia State, University of California and Penn State for more information than you can ever read.
