July 17, 2021Q.Are Peaches With Worms Safe To Eat?
Hello, I have a peach tree growing in my backyard. It has done well producing fruit since we planted it a few years ago, including this year. However, this year I've noticed tiny,nearly transparent, white worms in the pits when I cut them open. Are the peaches still okay to eat? My my mother is trying to convince me that I will have parasites growing in my stomach if I do. I'm freaking out a little since I already ate some of the fruit. Thank you for your help

Certified ExpertA.Generally, they are safe to eat. You may want to remove any creatures before eating, though.
Here is an article that will help you with preventing them in the future:

85650Q.Why Am I Finding Peach Pits All Over My Yard, 3 Years After Tree Was Cut Down?
Before I moved in my house +3 yrs ago, a peach tree was cut down because it was leaning on the roof. Tree & stump are removed, but I am finding peach pits in the area of the tree, as well as all over my backyard.

Certified ExpertA.Sometimes, if they don't germinate and dye off, they can remain for several years. Otherwise, there are others nearby and animals are bringing them back to the area where your tree once was.

August 13, 2021A.This is small backyard. I have Chihuahuas and cats so I can't see how animals are bringing them back into my yard. I've had area cleaned several times in the past. Are they coming in from the ground????

Certified ExpertA.Just cut off anything heavily damaged. It will be ugly for a long while, but it will recover. Growth that large will not likely repair itself if left on there, so cutting anything broken all of the way through will be recommended.
Otherwise, keep providing proper care and pruning properly to avoid future breakage. These articles will help:

Certified ExpertA.You will be equivalent to our USDA zone 8. With this being said, you will want to choose a cultivar that has a low chill hour requirement.

Certified ExpertA.You can grow a peach tree from a pit but you won't get the same variety as the one you grew it from (grafted hybrids), and that is if and when it produces. It's always better to purchase a fruit tree from a nursery so you know what you will be getting and in much quicker time.

Certified ExpertA.We purchase a subscription from a photo stock company so we don't have the right to distribute any of the photos we use. (I don't find a photo of that peach blossom in our database.) You can purchase a photo, too, from many online subscription services. Just do a search for the plant name you want and several will come up. You also can try some free places to get photos such as Wikimedia commons.
