December 4, 2017A.Bark damage is generally best to leave open to heal.
Severe damage can girdle a tree and cause die off of limbs or entire trees.
Fruit trees can be susceptible to disease from tree wounds. You will want to watch for signs of further issues.

Daphne, Al 36526Q.Peach Tree Blooming in October- December warm spell.
Should I go ahead and do spring pruning and remove small peach buds. I still have new blooms coming out.

Certified ExpertA.I think it would still be best to wait so that it does not sustain permanent damage. This is unfortunate, but I think that it is early enough for the peach to go back into dormancy before it is time to bear fruit again.

January 13, 2018Q.Dwarft peach trees.
My wife fell I love with dwarft peach trees when they bloom in the spring we couldn't find any so I said we will grow Some...I wound up with 2 types of peaches from friends and one was a red leaf the other was green leaf....they have sprouted they came up green and the Red Leaf came up Red Leaf also my question is what will I have When these trees grow up I know that you have to graft to get a dwarf tree any information on what possibly might be end result will they be. Any information on any dwarft tree will be appreciated thank you Terry

January 13, 2018A.The trees you planted should grow to produce fruit similar to the fruit your friends' trees produce, with possible small variations if you grew them from seed. If you grew them from cuttings, they should be exactly the same, except that if they were taken from grafted trees, they won't have the characteristics derived from the grafted rootstock.
There are actually genetic dwarf peach varieties available, which means they don't need to be grafted to stay at a small size. A Google search will turn up several companies that will ship these trees to you (however, some states may not allow you to import certain trees from other states because of pest concerns).

Do peach trees lose their leaves in the winter? How cold does need to be if they do?

Certified ExpertA.Yes, they do lose their leaves. Usually this starts to happen under 40 degrees F or so. They, actually need a chilling period in order to fruit properly. Some varieties need more hours than others. This temperature is usually under 40 degrees F, and over 32 degrees F.

8b 31701Q.Honey bee friendly Peachtree pesticides
A honey bee apiary is next to my peach orchard. Could you give me advice for pesticide agents and application methods to control aphids, white fly, fungus blight and stink bugs while minimizing bee toxicity? Specific recommendations or references would be most appreciated. Thanks, Jeff Hoopes jrh@jrh5.com Albany, GA 229-343-5593

Certified ExpertA.Yes, there are many ways to do this. Neem oil will not kill them, but they will stay away form the trees for just a little while. Just always apply on a cloudy day, or late afternoon. This will keep it from burning the plant. There are many other ways to make insect pest control yourself as well.
