| Both of my peach trees have had beautiful peaches growing on them. Had is the operative word.....now (as you can see from the pic) there are a lot of peaches that have shriveled up. Help...what is causing this??? |

| I'm no expert, but those look like the runts that self-abort and thin themselves out. If that's the case, nothing to worry about, if they come off with gentle tap/pull, I take them out as soon as I know they're runts, in case they pull out/waste even minimal energy. Nothing good can come of them. The big one looks great. Hopefully you got a few of those that should ripen nicely :). |

| Those are fruits that did not get pollinated. Remove them from the tree. |

| Thanks for the info.....yes they come off very easily. I'll remove the rest today. |

| No need to remove those they are dead, gone, and no drain on the tree. To me they look like they were frozen about a month ago. |
