Lemon tree grown from seed in container
Comments (3)Most fruit trees respond to heavy pruning by growing what are called 'water sprouts' and they are usually removed. This is not normally a citrus problem but then citrus are not usually pruned heavily. Al...See MoreNo Petals on 6/12 Peach trees grown from seed
Comments (10)Matthias, that's awesome! Thanks for the pic, they look so good! I can't wait to get these peach trees to that point. When you say thinning you mean the fruit? If so should they be a certain distance between the fruit? The red leaf peach was from a neighbor's dwarf peach tree. Was walking the neighborhood with my Wife and daughter and there was a rotting peach on the sidewalk and we picked it up, it was pretty far gone with some bugs in it but the seed was intact. I put it in the fridge in a tupperware container and moist paper towel with the other seeds and it germinated. It's sad they have two dwarf red peach trees and one is vined over getting choked with other bushes around it all crowding it out, they are not the original owners so they could care less for the trees. I suspect they won't last long....See Morei have a pear tiny tree that is grown from the seed.

Comments (6)I have grown several peach trees to fruiting age from pits. I have rarely had growing conditions that would allow the trees to set that heavily (late frosts, etc). I do thin on any tree that appears to need it, but this was not the case when I first got started. To weigh in on your particular questions I would say: Yes, peach trees grown from pits fruit quite soon (year three or four in my case) Yes, peach trees do tend to overbear. BUT, in my opinion a seedling tree "left alone" for 10 years is highly unlikely to end up disfigured from overproduction, unless "left alone" means given the utmost in growing conditions and the best climate. There are dozens of such trees that I can think of where I live (both seedling and grafted), and none of them seem to have this trouble. In fact, of those that even produce crops of peaches, none have ever grossly overproduced. I guess the bottom line is, nature figures it out. Oh, and peaches are a very ancient fruit, but it was recently discovered that they have been modified exceedingly little from their wild state! In other words, no major genetic differences were discovered in the remains of pre-domestication peaches compared with modern ones. This cannot be said for the majority of other commonly grown domesticates....See Moreorganicsweetpea
