[@suburbangrower4050]

I got one last year & it’s doing extremely well ! Can’t wait to see an update!

[@ZaatarGardens]

Maybe I’ll film a fruit tree flower tour tomorrow

[@lapchurng]

how often do you water it

[@trapbistro]

Wow, 4 to 5 feet in a month!! Thata crazy. I love how lush your garden looks. Many fruit trees. Keep it up, awesome

[@ZaatarGardens]

Thank You. You should see the growth of the Dapple Dandy Pluot, probably do a video on it tonight or tomorrow

[@sarahsmith1218]

Yep! I’ve noticed that about mine as well!

[@ZaatarGardens]

Btw, I want to thank you Sarah for all of your support on this channel, I really do appreciate it

👍

[@mykvass]

I have 2 of these in pots ….remarkable tree and THE best fruit no leaf curl !

[@ZaatarGardens]

EXACTLY!!!

[@lokiodinson4804]

Hey thanks for sharing. I’m also interested in growing peaches in pot. But I’m thinking what rootstock are you using for growing in pots? And what diameter pots are you using? Since it’s a proper tree, I expect it might have to be huge pots? Thank you.

[@lapchurng]

how often do you water it in the pot

[@gracenokufikakhanye8042]

Thank you to inform me about this' Donut Peach tree I bought peach from Woolworths so I just keep the seeds.and the weather .and

[@ZaatarGardens]

Such an amazing variety!

[@NJCALI]

I have the white doughnut peach and I just harvested. Them for the first time and it’s very sweet I was shocked

[@ZaatarGardens]

They are extremely sweet!!!

You're lucky, I'm in zone 9B, central California also and last year we had terrible peach leaf curl on our donut peach tree, so did several orchards around me but what was really gross were the earwigs that invaded the fruit. My tree is a semi dwarf but very vigorous also and the fruit, it's ambrosia. So delicious. I did the copper spray as indicated on leaf drop and am looking at using a used tuna can with some oil to set at the bottom of tree which is supposed to attract and trap the earwigs. I'm hoping for success on these two solutions.

[@ZaatarGardens]

The absolute best solution that I found out (by accident) with deter earwigs is spreading around used coffee grounds. I get pounds and pounds of it for free from coffee shops, I use it for fertilizer and the earthworms go crazy for it. As for peach leaf curl, over the past 7 years in this garden I have only had around 10 leaves that had peach curl, I foliage spray 2x month with seaweed and fish emulsion. I also think that having a very thick layer of wood chips helped create a very healthy soil that in turn gave my plants a great amount of immunity boost.

Used Coffee Grounds Garden Insect Repellent? (Really!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKjcfHd4ia91edE

[@novahina]

really happy to see this video ! Unfortunally in my country there is not as much peaches varieties.Most of the popular that you can find is like only ONE hahahah they call it ''National Peach'' but I think they might be other kinds of varities out there in fruit tree farms that are testing and trying to hybrid new variieties or something.There is alot of limitations regrarding organic farms and permaculture here in my country, soo most of fruit trees and fruits in general ( especially temperate climate fruits )are for industries and they do even use pesticide ALOT of it,but not as many for housekeeping plants.Unfortunally I think I cant have this variety ! But I am glad I 've known through your channel ! Thank you soo much !

[@ZaatarGardens]

Well that’s unfortunate that you can’t have a lot of variety there, is it Brazil?

[@ZaatarGardens]

I want to thank you Novahina for all of your support on this channel, I really do appreciate it

[@novahina]

@@ZaatarGardens Yes,It is. Unfortunally most farmers are NOT INTO permaculture, they most of the times expose their ground and they mostly do not have any idea why peaches wont grow in their ground, because of this peaches are mostly popular only in cold regions here. : ( But I am sure if they would exchange to permaculture and organic gardening any peach would grow, especially if they are in a colder south region. For us the closer to the South and up in the mountains the Colder it gets.

[@ZaatarGardens]

I live in the “Bread Basket” of the world. Millions AND Millions of fruit, nut trees and other edibles. I am telling you right now if the government said that we will subsidize the farmers to convert to permaculture methods, farmers would do it in a second! Because it’s free. If they have to pay one cent to transform into permaculture they won’t do it. I may make a short video about this soon.....

[@kerrymillwood1936]

They are definitely delicious and sweet

[@ZaatarGardens]

Oh they are definitely sweet unfortunately they’re not as delicious as the yellow peaches.

[@GatorLife57]

I have a new 5 foot Florida Prince peach tree. Wolf🐺 👍

[@ZaatarGardens]

From my understanding it’s a very early producer

[@CVenza]

Happy gardening to you too! I have two donut trees. One is Scarlet Halo and the other is Sugar Tiger. 1 year old. Can these trees be in a large container? Your tree looks amazing I wonder if mine will grow as tall as yours. Would you happen to have a recipe for white peach jam or preserve? 🍑

[@ZaatarGardens]

If you keep these trees in a pot, they will not grow as tall as mine but if you ever move, then you can take the trees with you, I cannot if I move. Here is a video link of one of my videos of making donut peach jam - Jam Making with Family (Peach) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2YenuGgsqfibM

[@luiseldewashington1768]

We have about 5+ acres at work, most of our fruit goes to the Seattle Washington area. $12-15/box of 8-10lbs

[@ZaatarGardens]

Yes great cash crop, would love to see pictures!

[@maranathayall]

That's a good "problem" to have when you have a house full of kids who LOVE peaches like I do.

[@ZaatarGardens]

Yes yes!!!

[@yummytummy88]

Is your donut peach tree on a semi dwarf (citation) root stock or standard root stock (nema)? Would love to get variety you have for it vigorous growth. Do you spray your tree?

[@marioatc]

I just bought at Lowes an ultra dwarf donut peach.

[@ZaatarGardens]

They are great the doughnut peach is my most aggressive grower of all so don’t underestimate how vigorous this tree is regardless if it’s on an ultra dwarf root stock.

[@marioatc]

@@ZaatarGardens I was at the Lowes in Riverpark looking for a white nectarine and found the Donut Peach, I was excited as I wanted a Donut Peach tree for a while, How old is your 4 in 1 cocktail fruit tree? I also bought one last year from Home Depot, Hopefully I get some fruit this year.

[@ZaatarGardens]

The 4-1 I have the Babcock white peach started dying (years ago) so I had to re-graft it back in thankfully it took. I believe it is five years in ground maybe 4 1/2. Maintaining a cocktail tree is very difficult I prune it at least three times a year and the donut Peach 5 to 6 times a year if not there is no way to control it size especially if you’re growing the soil Regeneratively

[@yogi-777]

@@marioatc i just got a semi dwarf donut from that Lowes today!!

[@adyingbreedofman9112]

So that tree grows a foot or more per week...?

[@sarahodges2413]

Hi I have twi trees it is my first year. When is the best time or how do I know if the fruit is ready to be pick? I have lots of creatures in my yard that want to eat them.

[@ZaatarGardens]

Typically in my area USDA Zone 9b, harvest is mid-end July

[@lukimeyvisfamily4732]

Hello, may I know your tree type, is it low stem or standard stem? Did you experience any curl leaves? Would also to plant it in my garden

[@ZaatarGardens]

This is semi dwarf (it doesn’t seem to matter though this is my most aggressive growing tree). It gets very little peach leaf curl, if any.

[@bodhirajghimire1182]

I want peach plant Sir.

[@meganlauren86]

Can you successfully water bath can donut peaches without them turning to mush

[@ZaatarGardens]

I thought only high acids foods should be water bathed, but regardless, donut peaches go very soft mid or fully ripe. Maybe if they were a bit unripe, then it might be possible

[@supperapper3292]

dos it loose leaf winter time?

[@ZaatarGardens]

Yes

[@pricklypear7934]

Did you purchase it locally or via internet?

[@ZaatarGardens]

Locally you can find this locally in zone 8 and zone 9 nurseries around the nation. I’ve heard of people up north have trouble finding it

[@lapchurng]

how often do you water it

[@ZaatarGardens]

Every 2 weeks in summer and 1-2 times a month the other seasons (not much or any in winter)

[@anayjim90]

Would love to know where you bought it from?

[@ZaatarGardens]

This was bought bare-root in the month of January at Lowe’s.

[@anayjim90]

Zaatar Gardens wow! And it got that big.

[@ZaatarGardens]

Well I didn’t plant it this year I planted it I believe 3 1/2 years ago

[@elaineseward1735]

How do you grow one from a seed or can you?

[@ZaatarGardens]

You can grow anything from seed the unfortunate part is it will not mimic what its parent was so it’s going to be some different type of peach tree, etc.

[@lapchurng]

what if I keep it potted

[@ZaatarGardens]

There’s no issue putting a fruit tree or any tree in pots the problem will be that more and more water is needed because less soil is in the pot and the roots keep circling around and around and could girdle itself and kill itself the only way to cure that is take out the tree from the pot and remove the bottom third of the roots and then refill with soil.

[@justinmedina3382]

0:47-1:03 you should name the peach tree Luigi. Luigi is younger than Mario and Luigi is taller than Mario. Or peach perhaps?

[@ZaatarGardens]

Hahah!!!

[@justinmedina3382]

Yeah I got that information probably from the Wikipedia page Also peach as in princess peach

[@mandiself2081]

How do I start this from a seed?

[@ZaatarGardens]

I would soak in water for 24 hours then plant in soft soil 3-4 inches deep

[@wwyy930]

white peaches denifintely more tasty than yellow one

[@ZaatarGardens]

I’m glad you like them

[@stefanusable]

can grow frome the seed!

[@ZaatarGardens]

It will not grow into another Donut Peach. It will be some other type of peach tree, the only way to get true variety is by grafting.

[@stefanusable]

@@ZaatarGardens ok Thenk you i got only seed from saturn peach!

[@ZaatarGardens]

You can try and grow it, then when it gets to 1 inch thick diameter at the base graft a donut peach branch to it

[@stefanusable]

@@ZaatarGardens but...I 'd Have graft branch of saturn peach! only red haven peach tree and peach we calld vinogradarska!

[@ZaatarGardens]

If you can find someone that has a Saturn peach, you can take a branch from them and put it on your other peach trees.

[@halijahahmad9237]

In singapore dis donut peach the price so very very very expensive🤭🤭🤭

[@ZaatarGardens]

It’s quite expensive here in America as well especially if it’s fresh..! That’s one of the reasons why I decided to grow it in my garden

[@luiseldewashington1768]

We sell them for $12-15/box straight from the farm in the summer

[@cleatusjones1284]

Donut Peachtree are they

[@ZaatarGardens]

What is your question? Did it get cut off?
