What month do peach trees lose their leaves?

Like all deciduous trees, peach trees lose their leaves in the autumn and become dormant, but it doesn’t stop there. As winter continues, the trees enter a period called rest. It’s a deep dormancy where a short spurt of warm weather won’t be enough to “wake” the tree up.

Do fruit trees lose their leaves in winter?

Most fruit trees are deciduous and drop their leaves in winter. These trees are best pruned while they are dormant, after the leaves have fallen, generally between December and early February.
