How to Use Sentinel Peach Tree in the Landscape

Peach trees are so beautiful with their pretty pink blossoms. You’ll want to consider this as a specimen lawn tree for both shade and sweet peaches. Create a mulched garden bed to keep it easy for yourself.

If you want more than one tree, create an orderly row, like they do at the orchard. Presto! You’ll gain an instant garden feature.

Add fruiting trees to your Victory Garden. Use them as a taller backdrop to your annual veggies.

If space is at a premium, grow them in a 4-in-1 or 3-in-1 high density planting. Add varieties that harvest a bit later than Sentinel for a longer season of fresh fruit. Read our blogs and watch our videos to learn more about these tried and true modern planting techniques.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant Sentinel Peach trees where they will receive full sunshine. Morning sun is best, but they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

Give your tree some elbow room, planting at least 15 feet away from buildings. Air circulation is important to keep the foliage healthy.

Peaches grow best in fertile, well-drained soils. If you have poor drainage, bring in additional soil in a mounded heap of soil to 18 inches by three feet wide. Plant in that mound

Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis, especially during fruit production. Add a three-inch layer of mulch to keep the root system nice and cool. Spread the mulch out to three feet outside of the canopy.

Thin the fruit to 1 piece per every 5 inches. You can do that while the tiny fruits are still green. Compost them with love!

Prune your tree in late winter to maintain a vase-shape set of scaffolding branches. Prune in mid-summer if you want to control the height and spread.
