Help with pruning peach tree

Posted by dcaponegro 6 (My Page) on

Hello All,

About 3 years ago, I planted a Belle of Georgia peach tree. It didn't look to good the first year and I ended up ignoring it and letting it grow. I figured. worse case scenario, I would have a nice looking tree.

To my surprise this year, it started putting on a bunch of peaches. I didn't think it was ever going to happen. So now I would like to prune it up and get it in better shape for next year. The problem is that I am not sure what I should be cutting off.

I have attached some pictures and I am hoping someone could assist me or point me in the proper direction on how to prune this thing. Also, should I prune in the fall or the spring?

Thank you,
Dean

All you need to do on that tree maintain height you want I like 8 foot when peaches are there they be lower and weight good to sag limbs to spread. You Vase shape center after next year crop off tree.
Leave all growth on out side until time to top them. Fertilize after fruits gone 10 minutes so tree make new growth a pint granulated fertilizer that pound then again at late pink bug if see flower fertilize with in 10 minutes lol your peaches be big taste good if use these practises. If dry water with one gallon water a week start after grass is dead watering...
