I need help diagnosing my peach tree at our new house. Previous owners did not prune dead branches or vertical shoots. Probably didn't fertilize either. Are these from a lack of nitrogen? The majority of leaves are green and healthy, and half the fruit are also good looking. However, many have these little spots and they do not appear to have grown in the past few weeks. Our neighbor's tree is almost ripe. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you

Sorry about that. I used the wrong code for posting images. Here's the post again Hi everyone. I planted this July-Elberta peach tree sometime in mid-may. It was a bare root fruit tree. The branches never came out from the trunk because the buds were dead, however, on the very top of the tree, branches did start growing. Anyways, I believe this tree is 2-3 years old, however its only been about 4 months or so since its been planted. From where the there is growth, there seems to be one main branch and right where the main branch is coming out of, there are 2-3 more branches. The main branch is giving off plenty of secondary branches And there are also many branches coming off of the other two branches I mentioned earlier: And all the secondary branches are growing in together and criss-crossing and what not like so: How can I go about doing this? My thoughts are two cut off the secondary branches that are growing inwards and are criss-crossing with other inward growing branches. However, as for the brances growing outward from the main branches, I will just leave them alone. Will this help in whatever growing season is left for the peach tree? Thank you!

it had tons of bloom and leaves on it last year , it gave me six small tender peaches . winter came and it went dormant and i thought it was dead till last month i went to throw it out and bam one flower and to leaves ...... soo uuuuh W.T do i do with it ... i plan to transplant it to a larger pot . what fertilizer do i feed how do i prune it ... it was stupid impulse but at Walmart but i don't wanna lose it .... and what are these .... do i cut them are they aprt of the drawf or the root stock ...sorry about the weeds my garden needs work

Several issues here: Peach Leaf Curl, too late to prevent it this year. Pick off those diseased leaves and destroy them. During a dormant season, spray the tree with copper. Copper is used as fungicide here. Peaches have many pests that attack fruit since they are tiny. The serious pests are Oriental Fruit moths, Plum Curculios and codling moths. They usually lay eggs on fruit, larvae hatched and tunnel inside the fruit to feed. Fruit drop prematurely. These moths breed in soil under the trees. You need to pick up all those dropped fruit and throw them out with trash. You need insecticide for it. Ripe peaches can also get brown rot. Another fungicide is needed. oozing at the base of the tree could be a peach borer issue. Clean out the jelly substance, look for holes at the base of the tree, sometimes a bit below a soil line and use a wire to poke the holes and kill the borers. Insecticide is needed.. You can look up university extension services near you and read up on these problems and how to treat them. There are more organic way to treat these issues. They often is more labor intensive with less effectiveness.
