    I'm living in my parents home now and my father planted a peach tree that's been pretty neglected since his passing 7 years ago.
    I looked at it today and wondered, how can I get this tree in better shape and growing bigger peaches? Now I know I have a lot of pruning to do, thank you for your knowledge!

    Mr Paul G. From back to Eden prunes that branch going straight up causes more fruiting on side branches and because of the weight of the fruit his trees branches bent downward and as tree got thicker those branches were permanent making it easy for him to get to.

    Have you ever tried bud-notching to bring what appears to be a dormant bud back to life? Notching involves making a small cut above a bud to stimulate growth. I am working with a newly planted peach and want to push out some limb growth below the existing scaffolds (which I think are too high). No branches are very large at all yet.
    I have some confidence with this technique for apples but not sure how it will work with stone fruits.

    It's a miracle that the peach tree that my Mother planted in 1992 is still producing. I didn't pay close attention to the tree as it was growing. Then one day in 2015 as I was sitting in the living room I saw a peach on the tree. The tree had peaches on every limb. So many until we had to tie the tree back to keep the branches from hanging to the ground. I still didn't cut one limb from the tree until 2021. In 2022 and 2023 frost got to it. This year I am treating that tree like a BABY! lol I will cut a few more of the thin branches next year. I am afraid to cut anything off now because again every limb has peach buds. Lastly I was under the impression that peach trees only lasted 8 to 10 years. I think my tree has proven that not to be true. I had so many peaches in 2015 until I bagged them up and stood out in front of my house and waved cars down and handed them bags of peaches. I live in rural North Carolina where everybody knows everybody. Thank You for your great advice.

    By the way I am affected by the dreaded fruit fly, gorgeous peaches in year one, riddled with maggots and inedible ( unless you like maggots)year two tried all sorts deterrents including locel custom of tying individual paper bags round the fruit, and still ended with fruit fly, year three picked before ripe and made delicious chutney. Also had to pick off all leaves with the red blobs on. Trust year 4 will be the best so far.

    @larryseibold4287 Před 2 lety

    Very good video. lots of great tips clearly detailed. I am sure you planed it, but in the end, it looks like you removed all of the 1 year old fruiting wood, so you will not really get any fruit next year, but will have good shape. I would have left a few of the 50cm red fruiting wood segments, like the fist cut after the central leader removal (4:30) looked good to keep.

  • @msspgj

    Question: Do you need 2 peach trees to produce fruit? I only have 1 tree which had numerous flowers this spring, but I'm concerned it won't have fruit later on. I'm learning so much! Thank you for taking the time to teach.

  • @RobertPWills
    @RobertPWills Před rokem

    I have a peach tree that's in its second year with me and I have five fruit total on it. The tree itself is 8 feet tall. One of the fruit already looks ripe- nice and soft- but it's only golf ball sized. Is it because I didn't trim it down enough? It's pretty full of leaves and there are even leaves just growing out of the stalks as well as on individual tiny branches.

  • @tangocharlie9291

    • @iamorganicgardening
      @iamorganicgardening  Před 4 lety

      I can see your point about facing downward. What I meant was that is branch I cut was downward facing because it was a strong branch just under another main branch.. And if left it just grow downwards. Hope this helps explains. Thanks

    Hello I have to correct you sir . You can have 4 main branches mostly used on peaches and other varieties ,2 leader and center leader. 3 branches works to but sometimes the tree may split when too heavy with fruit with 3 oddly pruned branches. Great video though.

    Great info...we live in NW Florida and planted a dwarf peach tree earlier in the spring. My tree is growing well...maybe too well.? I have two very tall single branches shooting straight up. We are in hurricane season now and my fear is that this tree may just bend in half during a storm. Can/should I prune it back now or just let nature take its course?
