Training
Your Peach Tree
In
March
of the first year, when the new buds start to
break, cut the tree back to roughly 60cm (2 ft) above ground. It is
essential that at least two left and two right facing buds remain - one from each
will form the principal structure of the tree. See the diagram to the
right.
In
March
of the second year, cut the two side branches back to within 45cm (18in) of
the main stem. 
Peach Tree Training
(continued)
In
the first summer, select the strongest left and right branches and remove
all other shoots from the main stem. Cut back the central trunk back to
10cm (4in) above the highest branch. As the summer progresses, tie the
two branches to the wires ensuring they are pointing upwards at a 45
degree angle. See the diagram to the left - note that at this stage of
the year, the tree will be covered in foliage
