Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or crossing branches to promote better air circulation and sunlight penetration throughout the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the early spring to support healthy growth. Follow up with a mid-summer application to encourage fruit development, but avoid over-fertilizing as this can hinder fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"21\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eContainer Growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a container that is 2–3\" larger in diameter than the nursery pot the tree arrives in. Ensure the container has drainage holes and use a standard potting mix with compost. When watering, saturate the entire rootball and allow the top 2\" of soil to dry before watering again. During periods of prolonged heat, move the tree into afternoon shade to help conserve moisture and reduce heat stress. Fertilize using a fruit tree fertilizer or balanced fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers will need to be applied more frequently than granular fertilizers. Stop fertilizing 6 weeks before your frost date. In Zones 6 and 7, move the container peach tree into a shed or garage for winter, which will help protect the roots from cold exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":42941583851582,"sku":"31364","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/files\/Necta-zee-minature-peach-tree.jpg?v=1782153020"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/collections\/Harko_Nectarine_2.jpg?v=1771611642","url":"https:\/\/checkout.trees.com\/collections\/nectarine-trees.oembed","provider":"Trees.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
