| After a quick look today, it appears that both my Peach trees are loaded with buds. I will confirm tomorrow with pics but now I am curious. If it is flowering a second time late in the season, will it affect next year's flowers? I have never noticed this behavior on my peaches in the past. |

| A few flowers in fall happens especially with a change in weather or some late pruning. Usually it doesn't affect next yrs crop because only a small fraction bloom in fall. What percent of flower buds are opening? |

| Good to know. So far, none of the flowers have opened but all the new branches are loaded with buds. I was concerned since they are budding now, they would not bud again next spring. Thanks! |

| goodground: All of next yrs flower buds form in the prior summer. They can usually be seen by mid summer but don't open until spring. None will form next spring. |
