January 9, 2019A.The absolute best way is to first remove the seed from the stone. If you can manage to crack this open, then it will be much faster to germinate, and more likely to do so. Please wear gloves, as these can be somewhat toxic out of the stone.

I have two peach trees, and they have flowered well with good fruit set, but as the fruit has matured several of the peaches have become shriveled and moldy.

January 14, 2019A.I recommend dormant spraying with a horticulural oil and copper fungicide. And then during fruit set start preventive treatments with a biological fungicide like this:

January 27, 2019A.It looks like your Peach Tree has bacterial leaf spot and cankers on the trunk.
Peach Trees can be susceptible to these issues.These articles have more information.

February 9, 2019Q.Peach Trees
I have a young peach which I found germinating in my garden last Spring ( 2017). It is outside in my garden in a plant pot and has been outside all winter. It is now February and it still retains all of its leaves, and is even beginning to sprout new leaves for this year. It looks as fresh as it did last summer. It has withstood frosts and snow. Why did it not lose its leaves ?

February 9, 2019A.I don't know what the low temps have been, and each cultivar will have a different temperature tolerance. Many of them will gladly keep their leaves through the cold periods if it doesn't get well below freezing. Here is an article for more information about peach trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-care.htm

Spring City, TNQ.Should a fruit cocktail tree be growing and blooming in Winter?
I got this tree about 5 or 6 years ago. The first Winter it grew 1 to 2 feet and was covered in leaves. It didn't bloom until a 1 or so later. It blooms like crazy, but no fruit. It's in full bloom right now.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, this is perfectly normal. Many Prunus species start flowering in very early Spring. Enjoy the blooms!
