How to Grow Peaches, Plum & Apple Trees
Items you'll need: Peach, plum and apple trees, Shovel, Garden stakes, E.B. Stone Soil Booster, E.B. Stone Sure Start Organic Fertilizer, E.B. Stone Organic Fruit Berry & Vine Food
Step 1: Choose a site with enough space for your fruit tree that gets lots of sun and varieties that will thrive in your climate - find trees that will cross pollinate in your area
Step 2: Dig a hole twice the diameter of the root system, it should be deep enough so that the tips of the roots touch the bottom - place the tree in center of the planting hole
Step 3: Mix 50% Green All Organic Soil Booster Mix to 50% native soil outside of the hole. Sprinkle E.B. Stone Sure Start Organic Fertilizer on the roots to help reduce transplant shock and fill the remainder of the hole with the 50/50 mix
Step 4: Stake the tree if added support is needed
