- Plant the Seeds: Plant the Peach Fruit Seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep into the soil, spacing them 12-15 feet (3.5-4.5 meters) apart for room to grow.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Care for the Tree: Ensure the tree has adequate sunlight, space, and nutrients. Prune any dead or damaged branches regularly.
- Harvesting: Harvest the peaches once they have turned fully ripe, usually in late summer. They should be slightly soft and fragrant when ready for picking.
