Start by selecting healthy young peach and plum trees from a reputable nursery. Ensure the trees are well-suited for your local climate and have strong root systems.

Plant the trees in well-drained soil with full sun exposure, digging a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Space them adequately to allow for growth and air circulation.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and fertilize annually with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer. Prune in late winter to promote fruit production and maintain tree shape.

Monitor for pests and diseases, addressing any issues promptly with organic solutions when possible. Thin the fruit in early summer to ensure larger, sweeter remaining fruits.

Harvest peaches and plums when they are fully colored, slightly soft to the touch, and easily detach from the branch. This is typically in mid to late summer.

Once harvested, gently wash the fruit and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Combine the sliced peaches, plums, and nectarines in a large bowl. Serve fresh for a delightful stone fruit salad.
