Protect from what?

Peaches shouldn’t need any special winter treatment. They’ll go dormant over winter, then wake up next spring ready to go. The fresh blossoms that first open might need some frost protection, but chances are, your tree isn’t going to wake up until it’s warm enough to not waste energy on producing fruit too early.

My neighbor always prunes her peach trees way back in the fall and they grow back beautifully come spring. It produces so much she gives us a bunch of peaches every year 😊
