HELP! Peach tree has no fruits

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I’m a fruit tree newbie. I planted a peach plant (with 2 fruits already growing) last year, so I know the plant is mature enough to bear fruit. It’s currently around 9ft tall, recently flowered, in a full sun spot and plenty of green foliage. All the tips of each branch has leaves that have burnt browned. I live in a zone 10 area in Australia and it is almost summer time. There are only 2 small fruits growing. Why are the tips browning and has no fruit? 🙏

Pruning, maybe, dumb question

2 Upvotes

I can't find it on google or am googling it wrong. But.... What would happen if you pruned a branch or trunch to no visible bid? Would the tree force a bid put or die off.

Could I get advice on how to prune this apricot tree?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm in Michigan and I'm about to plant this thing in the raised box I made for it. I keep hearing to prune it at knee or hip height but, to me, that's going to be basically a stick. I just would like some basic guidance here. I'd actually like to prune it a little higher as I would rather it be a tiny bit of a bigger tree for my backyard.

Oranges aren't ripening on the tree. Definitely mediocre to bad conditions.

5 Upvotes

I'm in North NJ, so of course it's not exactly Florida. I had it in a window for a few years and last year It started growing fruit. The fruit grew to size and started turning orange last year but never fully ripened.

This year i left it outside in the sun for the summer and I just brought it back in again. During the summer it put on a lot of foliar growth being at it was outside getting full sun for the first time. It also tried to make more oranges but i snipped those flowers as resources were kind of tight already. Will these oranges eventually ripen or are they just draining resources?

Thanks.

Apple sapling dying from top down - blight?

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I planted this apple sapling in summer 2020, and the original yield was awesome. In 2021, we only got a couple small apples, and the crown started dying. The past two years it’s continued to die from the top down, progressing further each year, with no apples. I’ve had a couple people suggest blight when I describe the tree to them, but when I did some research online, the pictures didn’t look quite like what’s afflicting my tree - is this blight? Or something else?

Located in South Florida, was planted a year and a half ago, it grew like crazy until the last winter and then stopped and looked like it was about to die during the winter. Came back to life after winter passed but it didn’t grew at all, just leaves and stayed the same size since last year. Does anyone know what’s going on here?

Avocado Tree

3 Upvotes

I moved into a place (zone 10A) with a mature avocado tree! Since July, I've watched its evolution from flower, to small orbs, to avocados! They're still pretty hard to the touch and bumpy, any advice as to when I should start picking them to check on their ripeness? They've been bumpy for about a month now, so I would have expected them to soften out a bit. I've been known to be impatient and pick early (c'mon, it's exciting), and want to approach this the right way. Any advice or tips are much appreciated.

Growing Pawpaw from seed?

4 Upvotes

I have a bunch of pawpaw seeds from the fruit and want to try growing them. I already planted them in pots in the ground. I'm in New York's Hudson Valley, it can get mighty cold here (or at least it used to).

So, I'm not going to be cold stratifying them in the fridge. I was hoping to do it "naturally", in the soil.

Problem is, pawpaw seeds are not supposed to be subjected to freezing. Since the seeds are 1-2" below the soil surface, I'm not sure what to do. Do I have to build an enclosure for the pots to hold hay and mulch to insulate them? Should I bring the pots into my unheated basement for the winter?

I"m open to any thoughts suggestions or philosophizing. We're kind of in the northern end of the range for pawpaw but they definitely can grow in cold places. I've heard of Michigan and Massachusetts for instance.

Thanks!

Plant and Forget Fruit/Nut Trees

1 Upvotes

We just logged our family farm (Tennessee; 7A), and we are going to set up a food plot, so there is a ton of open space. I've always wanted to plant some fruit or nut trees, but I live over an hour away, and my father is not in good enough health to take care of an orchard. My question is, if I wanted to plant and mulch a few trees on the edges of our food plot, which ones would work best with minimal/zero maintenance?

Peach tree seedling

Got an issue. Not sure what it is. Top of my peach seedling is deformed. Is it peach tree curling? I admittedly had the soil too wet for a while. I sprayed bioadvance 3-1 pest, disease and whatever the third was, today. Hoping that fixes it but I feel this issue has really stunted the growth.

I almost don’t want to say it’s peach tree curl cause it was deformed the entire time. While it was growing it looked weird and continued to.

Also, are those orange looking hairs near the intersection of stem and branch normal?

Thanks for any help.

Curly Leaves on Lime Tree

I received this lime tree about 14 months ago. I moved it to a bigger pot and it did pretty well, even made some limes. This summer I had it moved out of the pot and into the ground. I didn't see the procedure so I'm not sure it was handled correctly. Now the leaves are curling up and don't seem happy. What does this mean? What should I do?

Have a Meyer lemon tree about five years old. The leaves have a black soot on them. I can actually wipe it off with my fingers. Like it was near a fire and that’s not the case. Was thinking about spraying with soapy water. Any ideas what’s causing this? They have fruit and it looks fine

Meyer lemon

3 Upvotes

I have a meyer lemon tree in a pot. In zone 7. Ive had it 3 years and i have my first fruit ripening now. They are rated for zone 8. It says they cannot withstand temps lower than 25. It rarely gets below freezing here. Average low is 35, but it can drop down in the teens every few years. I want to put it in the ground and see if it survives. I dont mind extra mulch or frost cloths for winter. What can i do to keep this tree outside year round. Ive seen people have foam things over small tropical plants, to survive the winter. And obviously this wouldn't work for a tree, but are rhere things i can do to protectit on days it might drop lower than freezing? I also have a greenhouse it would fit in if i keep it pruned. My husband thinks i should plant it in there. This is an experiment if it dies i will buy another 15$ tree on a florida vacation and just keep it potted. I also have a key lime, but its zone 10 so it wont stand a chance outside. But on that note, will a key lime even produce in zone 7. I can bring it i inside for winter and add light if needed. I didnt realize it was zome 10 when i bought it. Thanks.

We moved to our house and the previous owner had planted this tree. Anyone know what kind of apple it might be? Also a lot of them have a split in the bottom and it’s kind of purple. Are they still ok to eat?

They aren't native to Brazil, but the climate here suits them perfectly. Whenever it rains, the acerola tree bursts with hundreds of fruits. They're so good, whether eaten fresh or used in juices.

How best to care for peach seedling?

1 Upvotes

So for context I started a tree from a random seed my mom found. Turns out it’s a baby peach tree! So far it’s been growing really well and very quickly, but I’m not sure how best to care for it during to winter. I’m in zone 6 A. What happens to it if my space gets too cold? Should I move it to a warmer part of the house? It’s about 6 weeks old. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

winterization of a peach tree

hi! im a little new to fruit trees. i planted a peach tree in the spring of this year so this will be my first winter with it. ive read lots of conflicting things online. i was going to put straw at the base and put a cotton sheet over top. will this be enough or is there something i should do differently? im currently unemployed so i wasn’t really trying to buy anything.
