i saw a cool video where a guy dug the hole for his new peach tree and took a 4' piece of 2" pvc and stood it up in the hole and layed it off to the side and then planted his tree. then when he watered the tree he would pour water into the pipe and that would put water in the bottom of the hole and that trains the roots to grow down deep right away. he would water the tree like this for 2 years and then pull the pipe out and the trees would get most of the water themselves after that

Good video. Be careful not to go too deep. I go a little deeper here, but only to remove some of the larger caliche...breaking thru that layer for better drainage. But I backfill with largely native soil. I also use less amendments---most of it on the top, as nature does it. Before you backfill, you can circle the whole with a thin layer of Hydrogen Peroxide. It will later minorly "assist" the roots to break out of that hole into the native soil. But I agree with the width, at minimum. Everyone gets it wrong, though. It's Flordaprince . Not Florida Prince. No "i"

Its "Flordaprince"? How come everything on Google shows it as "Florida Prince"?

We've got a small backyard, so I've been considering containers. Given what you're showing, do you think containers are a bad idea, even for super dwarf varieties? Thanks for your video!

What are your recommendations on growing Desert Gold, Mid Pride, May Pride, and Florida prince? Are these good verities for the valley? (I know you mentioned Florida prince is but what about the others?)

yes! but you need to do it right. 12" of mulch, living soil.
