Salem, Oregon, 97306Q.Peach trees
I bought 2 Saturn Peach Trees. I planted both of them in my back yard in Salem, Oregon. The only difference in planting them was that I used a bit more fertilizer on one of them as compared to the other. Anyhow, the tree that was planted with less fertilizer is doing great while the one that I put a little more fertilizer on is not doing well. The leaves on the one that isn't doing so well have faded to a light green with purplish spots on a few of the leaves while the other tree is nice and green throughout. I did over-water them in the beginning (2-3x/day x 10 minutes now I do every-other day for about 30 minutes) but that doesn't really explain why one is doing good and the other isn't. Is it maybe, because I used too much fertilizer? Do you think that this is a result of over-watering?

July 26, 2016Q.less fruit on peach tree each year
I have less and less fruit on my peach tree each year. The tree is 5 years old. I have 4 peaches. Each peach has a clear sappy drop on it. There were only a few blossoms this spring and it took until now before all the leaves came out. Plenty of peaches the first 3 years. I only had 6 peaches last year.

July 26, 2016A.Lack of fruit on a healthy tree is usually caused by one of three things. Too much nitrogen (are they in your lawn?) means more leaves, less fruit. Improper pruning can destroy potential fruit bearing branches. Lack of pollination is the third. Got Bees? Mild winters or early freezes can also wreak havoc on a trees production schedule.

19053Q.Brown Rot on Peaches
I love this website! I just moved into a house with a peach, apple and pear tree in the backyard. Being that it is August, I am guessing we are late into the peach season already. I believe the peach tree has brown rot--some of the peaches look mummified. I am wondering if I should buy something like Captan to spray, or is it too late to spray when the fruit has already bloomed? Please help, I know absolutely nothing but am desperately trying to learn. Thank you for your time!
