'Blackboy' Peach

How to grow 'Blackboy' Peach trees

Plant ‘Blackboy’ peach trees in full sun with well-drained soil and good air circulation to minimise disease risk. Choose a sheltered site to protect against strong winds and late frosts. Space trees 3–4 metres apart to allow for mature spread. Water regularly during the first year, especially in dry conditions, then as needed once established. Mulch annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter to maintain an open canopy and encourage productive fruiting wood.

'Blackboy' Peach tree care tips

Water young ‘Blackboy’ peach trees regularly, especially during dry spells and fruit development. Prune in late winter to maintain an open, vase-shaped canopy that allows sunlight and airflow, helping to reduce fungal issues like leaf curl. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting. Use mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid direct contact with the trunk. Treat preventively for leaf curl in late autumn and early spring with an appropriate fungicide.
