Questions & Answers
Prett sure this answer will not be posted. Mine were on back order for some time, final received them in the fall which I didn't think it was a good time to plant them but I did. They have never did anything, last few weeks been thinking about buying some new ones since these look like they are dead. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THEM.
We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.
You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!
Hi Aaron, I am unfamiliar with what BLS stands for. How can I help you?
I am attaching the link to our guide on how to grow trees in pots. We would only recommend planting it in a pot if it is of dwarf variety.

My Dad had a 100 acre peach orchard when we were kids. We picked and sold peaches from our fruit stand. This was one of our favorites. We had full size trees of course but I thought I would try this…
I enjoy peaches.
