Good afternoon I have approx 30 peach tree seedlings that I have grown from stones but, as a novice gardener, I am not sure what I am doing now. The seedlings were potted in March this year & I have good thick leaves at the bottom of the plant but these taper off to a long 'ivy like' spindle. Should I remove the spindly growth or use canes to promote upward growth? Many Thanks Jenn Bush
It looks like you seedling has produced a watersprout. These should be pruned form the seedling.

Hi, I'm living in Melbourne and have a few fruit trees in my backyard. Among them I have a peach and apricot trees. They are relatively young trees, about 3 years old. Last summer there was a very reasonable crop from both trees. But I noticed that both now have a lot of sap discharge. I've tried to locate a cancer causing this problem but can't see any. Recently I had to cut one small branch and it was at the sap spot but the branch itself was very healthy. It looked like the sap was just on the surface rather then from inside. Also the peaches had a lot of sap attached to the fruit but inside were very healthy. What should I do to help these two beautiful trees? If there are any other pictures I should send please let me know. We would really really appreciate your help...our trees are suffering! Kind regards, Boz

My peach flowers beautifully and is loaded with peaches every year but the peaches after getting so big and beautiful dry up and die what's wrong
This sounds like it may be Brown Spot.

Peaches are a little bigger than a golf ball. Last week they all looked great. This week I noticed little brown specks (holes) with a clear sticky gel like glob where the brown tiny holes are. I don't see anything on the trunk or branches. What could it be??? Thanks for your help!! Melanie
This could be caused by Stink Bugs.

I have a potted dwarf peach tree, which suddenly started dropping healthy looking leaves. What does this mean?
It is not uncommon for some leaves to drop. Stresses can effect the tree; extreme drought or heavy rains can trigger leaf drop.
Leaf Curl disease is another common reason for leaf drop.
Make an inspection of the leaves to rule this out.

Inspect the leaves for any other signs of pests or disease.

Can you tell me what is causing these indentations on the skin of my elberta peaches? Treatment?
I don't see a picture, but the word "indentation" makes me think it might be peach scab. This article has a list and description of all the major peach diseases. Each also has a link to its own article with photos, so you should be able to match your problem to a named disease:

I have recently taken over an allotment with a young peach tree on it. However, the leaves are all curled and there is no sign of any fruit. It's about three years old. A neighbor told me this is not treatable - is this correct and should I just get rid of it?
While I cannot say with certainty, I believe you may be describing Peach Leaf Curl disease.
