June 16, 2015Q.Planting a tree near a house
I planted two months ago a peach tree 4 feet from the house to block the view from a window. I am planning to keep it small (6 feet max.). Do the roots cause damage to foundation from the house? Should I move the tree to another place farther from the house?

June 18, 2015A.Generally, it is best to keep any tree near the house planted at least 10 feet away to prevent any possible damage.

June 17, 2015A.Most of these sprays are available through local garden centers and nurseries (a quick online search in your area should yield some results), or you can make your own. This article will help (towards the end): https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/homemade-fungicide.htm

midwest (indiana)Q.few leaves on peach tree and sap leaking from trunk
There are few leaves on peach tree and sap leaking from main trunk. The tree is 3 years old and first year had about 100 peaches. Last year no peaches because of late frost. This year many peaches (not maturing as they should) and only several groups of leaves--mainly on the top branches. The trunk is also leaking sap. Tree is not overwatered and has some miracle grow plant food but is still looking very weak. Not sure what else can be done or what is causing this condition. Help!

noth east north carolinaQ.gel like substance from oozing peach tree fruit
My peach tree has a lot of fruit that doesn't seem to be getting any size to them. There is a gel like substance oozing from a lot of the fruit. What could the problem be? It's the only peach tree on the property that I recently purchased and I don't have any history to add.

June 18, 2015A.Unfortunately is sounds like the Oriental Fruit Moth has invaded your tree.
You will need to discard the fruit and destroy.Here is more information.

June 21, 2015Q.peach tree
My 2 year old Georgia peach tree is starting to produce peaches. The problem is the peaches are so big and heavy the branches are breaking. Should I be taking off peaches to reduce the weight on the branches or should I just try to support the branches?

June 22, 2015A.Normally, thinning out the fruits early on helps with this, though removing some of the peaches now wouldn't hurt either. Here is more information on thinning peach trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-thinning.htm

Mid FranceQ.what to do with baby peaches
Is there anything I can do with the baby peaches I have taken off in the thinning process? Just done the thinning but don't want to waste the excess.

June 21, 2015A.You could compost the immature fruit.
They would not really be edible.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-tree-thinning.htm
