Size: 15-25 ft tall x 15-25 ft wide if grown as a single-leader tree; multi-stem specimens are often kept lower/wider
Growth: Fast
Light: Full sun
Soil: Adaptable (clay, loam, sand) but needs good drainage; peaches dislike wet feet
Central Missouri: Generally hardy zones 5-9, workable in central MO, but peach flower buds are cold-tender and spring frosts can reduce or wipe out a season's crop; heavy clay needs good drainage or raised planting
