I've planted a lot of peach trees in the last 75years and never got many peaches. Every thing that moves and breathes likes peaches. Peach trees don’t bloom because the weather is warm but they have a built-in temperature controlled clock. As soon as they undergo the proper number of chilling hours below 40 deg, they bloom. Different varieties have a different number of chill hours. Varieties that have a high number of chill hours work in the north, lower hours in the south. Unfortunately the trees are more precise than the weather so they frequently reach the required chill hours before the last frost or they don’t receive enough chill hours and don’t bloom. Peach trees don’t like wet feet. They must have good drainage. Your sand should work well. Use the soil that you took out of the hole to put back in. There is less likelihood of water standing around the roots if you do this. Put your mulch and nutrients on top of the ground not in the hole. Plant it a couple of inches higher than it was in the nursery. That gives a little room for settling. Better high than low. Run water in around the roots to force out the air when you plant.
