| we have a young peach tree we planted about 3 months ago from home depot. it started baring fruit last month in june. but now the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. fruit seems fine and growing. was wondering if maybe too much water? and if there is anything we can do that will help bring leaves back to green and healthy. hate to lose this tree it was doing so good. :( |

| First, remove the young fruit. They use all the plant's resources; none left to recover and, more important, to develop a sturdy root system. As for too wet or not --stick a trowel into the soil and look. Next, please post images. |

| i would not expect.. nor allow fruit for 2 to 3 years ... it simply does NOT have a root system to support it.. and that is why it is aborting them .. there is a fruit forum.. and many of the experts there.. NEVER visit the tree forum ... otherwise.. i dont care where you post ... and it is probably sacrificing the leaves.. the yellowing.. in a vain attempt to save the fruit ... [vain??? ... lol] water deeply.. and thoroughly.. and let it near dry in between the next deep watering.. and as jean said.. the only way to tell how that all works in your soil.. is to dig a hole and find out.. no guessing ...... it needs to be damp thru the entire root mass you planted.. not just the top it is stressed.. and no.. we dont feed stressed plants ... ken |
