This year our second year peach tree had no peaches on it, why?

Question

We planted a dwarf peach tree last year following the directions on the label.  It was covered with peaches but all but three fell off.  This year we had no peaches.  What is wrong?

Answer 1

peaches usually take immediately, it really depends on where you are at, and how much sunlight it is getting.  you should have no problems with the tree itself, even following printed instructions may not be enough to guarantee a full harvest of the plant, a little research goes a long way in guaranteeing that the plant is happy where it is planted.

ph needs to be 6.0-8.0....you will need to test your soil, we use lime & composted horse manure every spring ...leave the breathing space around the trunk space......in the spring....full sun......don't let it dry out.  don't over water.  spray with dormant oil in the fall when the leaves drop and again in the spring as early as you can walk on the ground spray up to bud, when bude opens spray only the trunk
