DO NOT Fear,they may just be suffering transplant shock.I have several of these,and have given away several more.They do well here in S.ca,no matter where they are planted.They do go dormant in the winter months however,but always come back,with children :) I have some in the shadier part of the yard,and some in full sun,those in full sun get more vibrant color than the ones in the shade.Although the shaded ones do have color also. I think it's one of those plants you can't kill!!! Right now i probably have at least 6 or 8 of them in different areas around the yard.They throw out trailing roots,and if some come up where i don't want the i just dig them out and move or give away. Here are a couple pictures of mine:

OK - here it is repotted and trimmed. I watered it the day before. (I believe it has enough water because when I cut some branches they were very moist at the cut.) I broke apart the root ball. Some of the branches came apart at the roots so when I repotted I just combined the pieces. How does it look? Do I need to cut more? I am using string to keep them bunched close together because of the shallow roots. Will this be ok or should I get that plant tape? Finally, if you have a suggestion for a light bulb/system please let me know. Thanks Jim

I'm not an expert on leather care but I have never been able to get stains out of a butterscotch colored purse. There are good leather dyes out there, such as Magic Mender, but the cost may exceed what the purse is worth. I wonder whether you could even out the stain with more beer. Here is a link that might be useful: Magic Mender

I'm sorry but I think you are being rude Wisconsitom. Jerryl is asking advice how to help his tree and you want to hop on him for 'helping the garden center's wallet.' If he wants to treat the tree to save it why would it hurt anything? Is it a short lived tree, yes, in the grand scheme of things- but peaches in general don't decline for 10+ years. I certainly hope that no one decides not to pad the doctors wallets if your health declines. Florida IS very rough on our northern fruits. Peaches, apples, etc are truly pushing the boundaries of what is easy/normal/zoned for us here. These trees are being bred specifically for Florida and in this case it has produced a weak tree. (in general not yours specifically) Out of all the fruit I have pushing the boundaries here the peach is the hardest to grow without problem. They are susceptible to all manner of fungus, mildew, mold, insects, etc. If you have not been feeding your tree that will be your #1 issue. Secondly you should be spraying with some type of fungal spray at least annually. (I use copper and it seems to help with fungus and molds) Third, it's fall. The daylight hours are getting shorter already. Our trees know this. In Georgia the trees are already beginning to defoliate. Fourth- it's still raining daily. These trees don't like wet feet. If it's planted somewhere low lying it could be dealing with root rot. Peaches are very difficult to grow for more that 5+ years without a good fertilizing/spraying & pruning routine. While I don't have any specific instructions I encourage you to look at what you have supplied for your tree and go from there. Visit UF's site to learn more about the pruning and do some reading to find out what the best schedule is for your area. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/hs365 Good luck!
