Fruit & Orchards

Should this peach be saved?

15 years ago

Greetings from Georgia. I posted a question on the Georgia Gardener forum, link below. Have done a lot of reading and am considering giving this sorry tree one more year to live. I believe it is what y'all describe as a seed peach. Have pruned quite a bit - realize I need to lower it even more (when???). No disease problems at all. Thin the fruit to at least 6" spacing. In late summer we get tasty but still tiny fruit - more pit than fruit. Hope y'all can help me!

TIA,

Rosie, in Sugar Hill, GA

For the cost, it might be cheap enough to get a new, grafted tree. They can bear fruit easily in the second year (maybe even a couple the first). Plus you can manage it right off the bat. You probably have a huge selection to choose from down in Georgia compared to us up north.
