I Am Looking Forward To Planting Some Fruit Trees. I Have Already Purchased Two Peach Trees But I Am Wondering If I Need To Amend

Question

my soil before I get started. What type of soil will peach trees do well in? And do you have a drop off site where my soil can be analyzed? Thank you. Danette Ferranti
