Why do the peaches on my tree, not all but some, have like a clear sap or sticky substance on them. Is it something I should worry about? Thanks for any help you can provide.
It is possible that your peach tree is affected by peach borers. This article has more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-borer.htm
Thanks Nikki for your information. I will check into your suggestion and get back to you and let you know what I find
We have had great harvests every year from two trees. This year not a blossom or peach on either tree. Local nurseries say it is because of frost last fall. Could this be it? We live in Kennebunkport, Me.
If you had a severe enough frost, then yes, this most definitely could cause your trees not to bear blossoms or fruit. There could also be a problem with pollination due to a lack of insect activity.
I have peaches with a jelly-like stuff oozing out of them. What to do?

I have a peach tree that has sap on the stems and fruits. This is the second year for this to happen. What is it and how can it be controlled? It was first on a plum tree that I removed and now on a peach tree. I also have 2 more trees that I had planned to set out in this area. Should I do so?
It sounds like it may be peach borer, which attacks all stone fruit trees. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-borer.htm
I too, have this problem on a plum tree. It is on the bottom near ground level.I think my husband hit it with the line trimmer. The tree did also die. I have a weeping willow with the same problem. Same reason. He said it was caused by bugs.
I planted two peach trees almost 2 months ago. They are still alive but have never leafed out. In other words, there are no leaves on either tree. Am I doing something wrong?
As long as it is green below the bark, it will leaf out. I would give it a little additional time.
Can I start a peach tree from a peach seed? If so, does the seed need to be dried, and when should I plant? Do I plant with seed point up?
There are two ways to grow peaches from the seed or pit. First, collect peach pits during summer and sow them directly in the ground in fall about 4 inches deep. Add some mulch to the planting area. It should sprout in the spring. Alternatively, you can place the seed in a small pot about three months before the last frost date in your area. Dampen the soil and cover with a plastic bag. Place it in the refrigerator until threat of frost has passed. Take the pot out of the bag and place in a warm, sunny window keeping the soil moist. Transplant outdoors in spring.
We planted a young peach tree a couple months ago. It was looking good and had small peaches starting to grow on it, but all of asudden it looks dried up. We have been watering it.
Other than wilting, is there any other symptom? Wilting alone can indicate many different things. Peach Verticillium wilt generally affects only one side of the tree and may display discoloration. Peach tree borer can also affect these fruit trees.
