Peach tree problems
Comments (2)You can prune the heck out of it and give it a good dose of N fertilizer. Peaches up here are really iffy. I'm not sure where you are, but canker is horrible on some trees (freeze damage). I took out 4 peach trees this spring because they looked so bad. Just grow them as annuals like i do. Plant a few pits every year and you'll have plenty of "spares" to put in :) They fruit on their 3rd year. Spray in early spring for curl. I sprayed in Nov and i still had some, but not much, i should have had another spray in there....See MorePeach Tree Problems
Comments (9)That damage looks a lot like my peach tree. I'm still a novice at identifying diseases, but I think it's a bacterial leaf spot. I've talked to a local nurseryman and he thinks the spots won't harm the tree too much this year, and there isn't any way to treat it now. I'll need to spray a copper fungicide (Kocide 3000 seems highly recommended) in the spring, before any leaves emerge. It might help, though most people recommend planting resistant varieties. I'm in WI, so it was important that I planted a hardy tree, so I went for a McKay peach. It came from the nursery with a canker (which I pruned out immediately), and I'm guessing that is where my bacterial leaf spot came from. I'd be glad to hear what more experienced peach growers think! Here is a link that might be useful: Bacterial leaf spot description...See MorePeach Tree Problem
Comments (3)If the growth is from above the graft it will regrow into the original tree. If growth is from below the graft then all you have is the rootstock. Any fruit from that isn't worth growing. Can you see the graft location? It should show up as a difference in color of bark or a bend in the trunk....See Morepeach tree problem
Comments (4)As long as the grafted portion is still alive I wouldn't worry overmuch. I'd trim anything under the graft and give the tree time. I've always been told that peach trees have super growth in spring-summer but my limited experience in spring planting has been that they were pretty slow to establish the first year....See MoreSara_in_philly
