I have two identical mini peach trees. They are both full of peaches but the leaves on one of them are turning pale green. Any suggestions?

    Hello Jan7425, When leaves start to turn color, it's a sign that it is not getting enough water. Try watering it more than usual and it might come back for you. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

      Thank you. The trees are next to each other, but I'll add more water. This is lower central Texas and the temp is running around 100. More water it will be.

    are you fertilizing or maybe watering incorrectly. Sometimes either too much or too little water can be the culprit

      I'm thinking too little water. This is Texas and the het is terrific. Thank you for your response.

    Check for any sign of a insect infestation.Webbing,holes in the leaves,etc. Spray the tree and soil down with horticultural oil. Repeat as necessary.

    Also, if they are in pots leaves will start turning if they need to be transplanted into bigger pots with fresh dirt.

    Try an iron treatment that you can pick up at any nursery.
