Do peach trees bloom or leaf first?

[purpleleopard770]

The blooms of peach trees (Prunus persica, which grow in United States Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 though 9) appear three to five months before the fruits, but the exact time the trees flower depends on the previous winter's temperatures and the trees' variety.

Peaches bloom and bear fruit on second-year wood; therefore, the trees need to make good growth each spring and summer to insure a crop for the next year. Each winter, a large number of red 18- to 24-inch shoots need to be present as fruiting wood.

Likewise, how do you prepare a peach seed for planting? It will be its own unique variety.

1. Wrap the seed pit in a moist paper towel, place it in a plastic baggie, and seal.
2. Store the baggie in the refrigerator.
3. Keep the paper towel, peat moss or vermiculite moist, and in two months, the peach seed is ready to plant.

Keeping this in consideration, what comes first leaves or blossom?

For the most part their flowering occurs before they produce leaves.

What color blossoms do peach trees have?

Appearance. Peach blossom flowers range in color from very light pink -- which can appear almost white or gray -- to red and lavender, depending on the cultivar. Each single blossom is about 1 inch in diameter with five petals surrounding the center.
