How can i get my peach tree to ripen?

Question

We bought a house two years ago and the only tree in the backyard we believe to be a peach tree. However, each summer it only produces green balls that never ripen to look like peaches. Any way to encourage the peaches to ripen?

Answer 1

One question -- are the balls still hard when they fall off the tree? Here's an article that tells you more about the possible causes of peaches falling off before they ripen: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-fruit-drop.htm
