I have an older peach tree that has 3 main branches. Two of them bear heavily each year, but one, apparently health looking branch, set lots of fruit but the fruit does not mature. I thin the fruit on the entire tree each year trying to use a minimum of 4" spacing. At the start of the season the size of the fruit on the tree is uniform, but as the season progresses two-thirds of the tree has fruit mature at a normal rate while the one section is extremely slow and never develops mature fruit. It used to be fine, I don't know what is different between the sections of the tree. this is the second or third year in a row for the one section to not mature. Any ideas why this would happen?
It is likely a branch that originates from the rootstock. This will be different than the grafted top. You will want to remove this branch at the base, and cut all new instances that arise from that spot, or below.

i have grown peach trees from pits in containers and would like to put them in the ground
This can be done in Autumn or Spring when the weather is mild. Planting in the heat, or too close to frost will not give the roots adequate time to take before harsh weather arrives.
Plan on giving the roots 4 to 6 weeks of recovery before frost or heat, depending on when you choose to plant.

Hi there! We just moved into a house that had an existing peach tree in the yard. It was not pruned properly before we moved in and it now has 4 main trunks. I've read that peach trees need 1 main trunk to thrive. My main goal for this peach tree is to have a beautiful, large, healthy tree. I'm not too concerned with actually getting eatable peaches from it. Since it's already about 9 feet tall at the tallest branch, it's pretty well-established. Will it be ok to leave all 4 main trunks as is and just let it be? Or do we need to reduce the trunks to one main trunk this winter? Will removing three of the trunks in the winter hurt the tree? Will it be able to recover? I just hate thinking that it might hurt the tree to do that. But I also don't know if the tree will be ok with 4 trunks. Pics attached. Thank you in advance!!
Since these appear to be fused at the base, it would be difficult to remove three. Plus it will leave stumps. I would consult the local university extension service for advice. They may suggest removing it.
Here is some food for thought:

Need help in trimming fruits trees and not only. Thank you
The best time to do this is early Spring, before the tree comes out for the year! This article will help:

I have a small peach tree growing in a container, and recently i noticed that its leaves were droping and some get brown tips. After reading a post about brown tips in plants i came across this article about over fertilizing: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/signs-of-over-fertilization-in-houseplants.htm so i was wondering if too much organic fertilizing would cause the same effect or is just for the synthetic ones?
A dose of fertilizer encourages a plant to make its own nutrients, whether organic or not. However, organic fertilizer is more likely to break down properly and be beneficial to the soil without leaving behind residues of salt and chemicals. It's much easier to over-fertilize with synthetic fertilizer as it tends to contain non-beneficial chemicals. If you feel you've applied too much organic fertilizer, it's easier to flush away and it's altogether healthier for the soil, the plant, and the environment.
