Watermelons, as well as strawberries, are 92 percent water. Cantaloupe and grapefruit are two more fruits in the same range, with 90 percent and 91 percent water, respectively. A large selection of favorite fruits contains 85 percent to 87 percent water. Raspberries, pineapple, plums, peaches, oranges, cranberries, apricots and blueberries are all found in this group.
Like most fruit trees, peaches prefer fertile, well-drained soil and at least six hours a day of sun. Regular irrigation is critical to fruit production; use a drip system on a daily basis or a sprinkler system every three weeks. Mulching helps keep the weeds down and hold humidity in the soil. The trees also require fertilizer on a monthly basis beginning in April and continuing through harvest, about 1/2 a pound of urea or 25 pounds of manure per application per tree. As the trees mature, increase the amount by 50 percent.
