pruning young peach trees; brown rot
Comments (12)And I got the technique from Bas Van Ende, but I've never used it on peaches or other stonefruit. I didn't trust the integrity of the wood enough but now I know I could. I do sometimes use spreaders, however. I don't generally use the first large branches for my scaffolds anyway, and remove them for branches of smaller diameter that are naturally more horizontal. This may reduce the size of my first crop but beyond that it's hard to slow down a healthy peach. Oversized branches tend to make weak unions and often break under cropload if left unsupported. My peach trees start life as central leaders and I don't convert them to open center until they've begun seriously cropping. The central leader also supplies a place for spreaders- the easiest way to make branches more horizontal. One other point about brown rot. It's very important to keep the fruit thinned in a way that they never touch. I guess you could even make sure that no leaves are touching the fruit so it dries quickly. Summer pruning will also help keep the fruit dryer if done with that strategy in mind....See MoreNeed help Identifying fruit trees.

Comments (1)Yes, the pot looks small and the plant looks underfed. You are giving it only about a quarter of its nutrient needs: Citrus Focus instructions say "Add 10ml of Citrus Focus in every litre of clean water, weekly. If leaves are pale or yellow, increase frequency of application."...See MoreNeeding help to identify bad ugly spots on Phal leaves.
Comments (10)I’m glad to hear your opinion Jane. From all appearances the roots look ok, so I think I’ll dive into repotting and then isolation. I do like an occasional challenge! I always enjoy your posts. I’m a NY born, S FL raised girl and got my start in orchids there when I was very young. Grew them outside on trees, etc. many many years ago. Moved to N FL then back south again to Ft. Lauderdale. Probably had close to 50 until hurricane Wilma wiped us out in 2005 and we had 3 storms go through that season. We moved to N. GA in 2010 after retirement and I slowly started acquiring phals. Hubby built on a sunroom for me to winter them but now I keep them in all year and they do great! I just have 10 and 1 paph. Funny I couldn’t grow a Phal to save my life when in FL! Ha! ;-) I do miss growing orchids of all kinds outdoors all year long. Thanks!...See MoreRelated Professionals
