How Much and How Often to Water a Young Peach Tree

Question

How much and how often to water a young peach tree?

Answer 1

This depends on when it was planted. If it's just been planted, the tree will require more watering than one that is already established. Generally, trees need at least 2-3 inches of water weekly (including rainfall), so I would water one or two times a week for at least 15-20 minutes (longer if it has been very hot and dry).
