Certified ExpertA.It sounds a lot like there is plenty of phosphorus and potassium in the soil, but little nitrogen. This leads me to believe that the soil pH might be a little too high.

11096Q.I Accidentally Over Fertilized. Is My Peach Tree Done For Good
So my peach tree accidentally got over fertilized and has these red spots which I tried using a copper spray to get rid of. But now it’s lost all the bottom leaves and only growing from the tops. Is it lost for good?

Certified ExpertA.Not necessarily. To remedy the situation, you should thoroughly water the containers to flush out excess fertilizer. This will help dilute the concentration of nutrients in the soil. It's also important to monitor the trees closely for any signs of stress or leaf discoloration. If necessary, you may need to repot the trees in fresh, well-draining soil to provide them with a healthier growing environment.

43055Q.Pruning
From the start, I haven't pruned my peach tree like I should have. It's about 4yrs old now and overgrown. Is it too late to take control?

Certified ExpertA.It isn't too late. Since you won't be able to keep any first year branches, you will not be able to get much fruit next year. Following that, with regular pruning, you should start to see good crop production.
