peach tree brocken limb with hard green peachs
Comments (2)Make a clean cut of the broken limb to aid in the sealing off of the wood and prevent disease entry. Do not leave fruit to rot under the tree, a good way to incubate diseases for next year. Al...See MoreMend broken branch on peach tree??
Comments (3)Many thanks guys. It was only hanging by the skin of the branch anyways so I cut it off. I sprayed the black stuff (pruning spray?) and I also cut off a few smaller branches directly opposite to help with balance. Thanks again, Ravi...See MoreBroken tree limbs after large snowfall. :(
Comments (8)lets side step the issue for a second ... first... its YOUR house.. its YOUR yard .... BUILD A NEW HISTORY .... don't try to save trees/shrubs/etc ... for the history of it all ..been there.. done that.. what a nightmare.. until i removed all the prior owners problems .... i cant tell from the picture whether the width of the lot is defined.. on the right ... with a fence right behind the plant in question .... but i can see someone way out back .. and i see the fence on the left .... IMHO .... for what it is worth ... both plants on the right of your picture .... seriously impede the view of and use of your yard ... in my yard.. they would be totally removed .... dead.. gone .... presuming that the photographer is standing on the patio that you will be spending much time relaxing on .... why do you not want to see half of your yard .... if you see the wisdom [???.... lol] .. of that logic .... then proper ID and rescue of a much too large... poorly sited plant is irrelevant .... [BTWay ... are those two plants approaching the power lines also?] new house.. new yard .. new to the garden ... carpe yardum ... seize the yard.. start by getting rid of your problems.. start with a fresh canvas ... and think about planting something in front of that shed ... after a few adult beverages... peering out over your domain ... that thing is going to start bugging you .... lol ... may as well start hiding it this spring ..... now .. the tree on the left .... again.. cant ID it at that distance ... but it looks excessively old .... overly mature... and has a history of improper pruning ... you might want to think about removal of that one also ... every problem [your plants] has a solution [and the snow started it.. lol]... try to look beyond the immediate problem ... and focus on the potential that was created .... i know its hard for new homeowners.. and new gardeners have trouble accepting that things must die .... but my logic is.. if i replace 3 dead plants.. with 20 new plants.. mother earth is plus 17 ... dont worry about it ... my best advice ..... get out the lawn chairs .... and spend the next 60 days sitting on every inch of that patio ..... and spend time inside each window... and REALLY LOOK AT YOUR YARD .... try to imagine it with and without the plants .... move the chairs way back in the lot and look at the house ... sit everywhere .... think about what is there.. and where you want to go with it ... in the garden.. there is rarely any hurry .. we can kill that bush today .. or in spring [might want to see if it flowers] .. or in summer ... define a plan .. think it out... go to work ... good luck ken...See Morepeach tree brocken limb with hard green peachs
Comments (1)Such a pity. I do not grow peaches, but I think that if they are very green, they will not continue to ripen now the branch is broken. Instead if you leave the branches, eventually the fruit will rot and attract fruit fly and other problems. Depending on your interest, there are seemingly recipes on the internet for using un-ripe fruit in cooking, but I leave that to you to investigate...See Morealan haigh
