Young Peach Tree Care

Question

My husband ate a peach and the pit was already sprouting. We planted it and it is now a small tree about one ft. tall. It is planted in a small pot. Should I plant it in my garden now (early fall) or should I wait for spring? I live in southeast Michigan.

Answer 1

I would not plant it out just yet. Keep it in the pot for another year. It will need a sheltered place outside to overwinter though, somewhere out of the wind and near a wall (for residual heat) would be best.
