September 21, 2015Q.Peach tree
We have a peach tree (about 10 years old) and it has only produced flowers and peaches in about 3 or 4 years. This year we didn't even get any flowers (we live in Golden Colorado and it was a wet and cool spring). Is there anything we can do to encourage the tree to flower, bud and produce peaches? Thanks so much!

September 22, 2015A.I would have the soil tested to make sure that there is not a phosphorus deficiency in the soil. The trees need phosphorous to bloom and produce fruit. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm

TexasQ.My peach tree has fungus growing out of the trunk
I have cut out some of the fungus and sprayed it with white vinegar and it has helped some. Is it ok to spray the whole tree with vinegar or is it too acidic and will it harm the tree?

September 28, 2015A.Without know exactly the type of fungus you are dealing with I would recommend using Neem OIl.
Neem Oil works as both an insecticide and fungicide. It is safe for people, pets and beneficial bugs.Here are some links for you.

September 29, 2015Q.food vs. fertilizer
I am a relatively new tenant on a property with two peach trees. Last year the peaches were a good size and the year before last they were big, but this year they were more like apricots. I think the trees need to be pruned, as there are some "dead" areas (no leaves but I can see sap on the wood) and they probably need "food." I've seen "food" for fruit trees in a local store. Is that the same as fertilizer? If not, which is better - the "food" or fertilizer? And although some of the "dead" branches have sap, are they "alive"? And should they be pruned? Thank so much for any help you provide.

October 21, 2015A.I'm afraid that this a classic case of peach leaf curl, a very common virus disease. You can control by spraying with a fungicide in Jan/Feb and again now.
Pick off all diseased leaves.
Moving the peach indoors under glass can also work.Was this answer useful?00 - Answered by
