Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and good air circulation for your peach and plum trees. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, then carefully place the sapling in the center of the hole, ensuring the root collar is level with the soil surface.

Backfill the hole with a mixture of soil and compost, gently tamping down the soil around the base of the tree to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly after planting.

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and fertilize annually in early spring with a balanced fertilizer or compost.

Prune your trees in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased branches, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production.

Monitor for pests and diseases, addressing any issues promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls, and thinning fruit when it's about an inch in diameter to ensure larger, healthier fruits at harvest.

Harvest peaches and plums when they are fully colored, slightly soft to the touch, and easily detach from the branch with a gentle twist.
