The Peach Tree is a Summer fruit tree that gives one Peach every day of the season once grown. Its sapling is one of the two dearest at Pierre's General Store, matched only by the Pomegranate Sapling. In return, Peaches are the most valuable fruit any tree in the valley shop produces. That makes Peach Wine one of the best earners for a farm full of Kegs. Robin loves Peaches, and the fruit counts toward the Artisan Bundle. In the Greenhouse, a row of Peach Trees gives top-value fruit every day of the year.

Growing

Pierre's General Store sells the Peach Sapling. The Traveling Cart may carry one too, and its price can come in under or over Pierre's.

The sapling goes into plain ground. As it grows, the Peach Sapling needs the eight tiles around it kept free of objects, paths and flooring. That clear space cannot overlap with another fruit tree's, which means at least two empty tiles between neighbouring trees. Any debris or object in that space stops the sapling from growing that night. A message the next morning says so.

Over four weeks, the Peach Sapling passes through four stages until the tree is full size. It grows in every season, Winter included. For a Summer tree, Spring is the time to plant. A sapling planted on the first day of Spring is ready on the first day of Summer. One planted later in Summer still gives a short harvest before Fall.

Once the tree is fully grown, the space around it is free to use. Paths, chests and sprinklers can then go right next to it.

The Peaches improve as the tree ages. One year after maturing, the tree gives silver-quality fruit. Two years after maturing the Peaches come out gold, and after three years they are iridium. Time alone does this.

A fruit tree cannot be lifted and moved. Chopping it down with an Axe is the way to move it. The tree drops wood and a Peach Sapling of the same quality as its fruit. A higher-quality sapling grows to full size faster when replanted.

In the Greenhouse, a Peach Tree fruits every day of the year. Trees can go on the stone edge of the Greenhouse, which keeps every tile of soil free for crops. A tree on the Ginger Island farm also fruits all year.

Storms are the one danger, because lightning sometimes hits a fruit tree. A struck tree turns black and gives Coal instead of Peaches for four days. It then recovers by itself, so it should be left standing.

Fruit

A full Summer of normal Peaches sells for well over half the price of the sapling. The tree has paid for itself during its second Summer. After that, its value grows every year as the fruit climbs to iridium.

A Keg turns each Peach into Peach Wine, worth three times the raw fruit. Because the Peach starts so high, its wine is among the most valuable a valley tree can make. A Preserves Jar makes Peach Jelly, worth a little over double, and it is ready much sooner. A Dehydrator turns five Peaches into one pack of Dried Peaches by the next morning. The Artisan profession adds forty percent to all three products. The Tiller profession raises the price of the raw fruit.

Kegs and Preserves Jars ignore fruit quality. A gold Peach makes the same wine as a normal one. Normal-quality Peaches are the best ones to process, and raw fruit from an old tree slowly closes the gap with wine.

Peach is one of the choices for the Artisan Bundle in the Pantry.

Robin loves Peaches. Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Krobus, Leah, Leo, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard all like them. A Peach is an easy way to raise friendship with Robin.

Choosing the fruit bats for the Farm Cave brings Peaches and other fruit to the cave from time to time. The Traveling Cart can also sell single Peaches.

Notes

Peach and Pomegranate Trees are a popular choice for the Greenhouse border. Both give the highest-value valley fruit, and in the Greenhouse they fruit every day instead of one season a year.

The Peach Tree and the Orange Tree are the two Summer trees sold in the valley. The Orange Sapling is cheaper, but each Peach is worth noticeably more.

Plant the Peach Sapling in Spring so it is ready for the first day of Summer.
