Growing & Maintenance Tips for Prunus persica Glowingstar®
Plant Glowingstar® in full sun and well-drained soil, watering deeply during dry spells to keep it healthy and productive. Fertilize lightly in spring. Prune in late winter to maintain an open shape and encourage fruiting. Thin young peaches so they’re spaced about 4–6 inches apart for the best size and flavor. A yearly copper spray helps prevent common peach diseases, keeping your tree vigorous and ready to deliver sweet, juicy harvests each summer.
