Peach Tree Leaves and Fruit Turned Brown
Comments (2)Your picture looks familiar. Something similar to this happened to my peach tree last year right before it died. It was due to over watering. Apparently I had a raised pond next to the tree and it sprung a leak saturating the soil around the tree during its growing season. It didn't help that I also have clay soil which retains a lot of water and my peach tree was planted in the lowest part of the yard. All these factors worked against the tree's survival. The moisture level was too much for the tree to handle and the roots started to rot, eventually the leaves became yellow and shriveled. The fruits stopped growing in size and slowly became dry and shriveled as well. I stopped watering the plant once I figured out the tree was getting too much water but the damage was already done and there was no way to remove the hundred gallons of water absorbed by the clay soil which came from my leaking fish pond. The tree eventually died. Peach trees are extremely sensitive to over watering. Well drained soil is a must. If you have clay soil like I do, it's probably best to plant your future peach tree on a sloped part of the yard where the water drains away from the tree. Another option is to plant it in a raised bed to help with drainage. You could also mix sand in with your soil to make it less clay-like (which I find to be too much work). Also, keep an eye on the soil moisture especially during the growing season (spring through summer). If the soil is damp, the tree doesn't need to be watered. Good luck. I hope your tree recovers.

Comments (5)Hi Bill, I am so sorry about your beautiful peach tree and I hope that you can find the cure soon. I don't know what is causing but is there the possibility that someone near by sprayed an herbicide or something and the wind spread to your tree? I heard people saying that sometimes. I know that in the u-pick farm he told me that some of his peach trees died but I think it was related to the cold, next time that I go there I will ask him more about it. If you are following the same schedule for feeding and watering, check maybe for bugs even if you have to use a magnifying glass, somebody in the forum said they use that for seeing the bugs like thrips. Let us know what you find out and good luck, I hope that your tree heals soon. Silvia...See MorePeach tree - leaves yellowing with brown tips
Comments (0)Hi, new here and was wondering if anyone is familiar with the problem we're experiencing with our young peach tree. The tree has been in the ground for about 18 months now. We're in Austin Tx where the weather has become very hot and humid this past month. We had a ton of rainfall back in late May through June. The leaves are turning yellow and appear to be burning at the tips - not sure if that's an accurate assessment - pic below shows progression from left to right. There does not appear to be any reddish tint to indicate nitrogen deficiency but we are seeing some brown spots on the younger green stems. We are also seeing the same issue on a small cherry tree nearby. Just not sure if this is a deficiency or bacterial disease, any help/clues would be most appreciated....See MorePeach tree turning yellow
Comments (3)We have received a lot of rain in the last three weeks. Perhaps being too wet is the problem. This tree is the only one of my younger plantings thay is showing problems....See Morejofus, ( Englewood, Fl zone 10a )
