Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI live in Northern Florida. My new (6-8′) peach tree that I planted four months ago produced several peach buds and abundant flowers. After the buds swelled to the approximate size of a small egg, they shriveled. The leaves look healthy. We had a few evenings of frost and a period of drought. Do you think it could have been either of those conditions or is my tree diseased? Thanks.

Yes, it could have been the frost. The flowers and fruit on a tree are far more susceptible to frost damage than leaves. It may also have been poor pollination or insufficient chilling. Both of these can also cause this to happen.
