Why my peach tree did not bear fruit this year.

Douglas Hunt on Aug 03, 2013If you planted a young tree, it could easily take two to four years for a peach tree to reach bearing size. Also, peach trees are very vulnerable to cold weather, which can kill the fruit bud. Finally, I don't recommend fertilizer spikes. They're mostly salt, and the fertilizer is not well distributed around the root zone. Use a good 10-10-10 fertilizer in March and May. There's some very good information from Ohio State here: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1406.htmlHelpful Reply

Luis on Aug 03, 2013A tree in partial shade is fighting an uphill battle. Fruit trees can survive in partial shade, but they will take longer to begin bearing fruit. Soil fertility, fruit trees, like all plants, require some nutrients to survive. But excessively rich soil or heavy fertilization may encourage branch and leaf growth at the expense of fruit production.Helpful Reply

Nancy Hand on Aug 03, 2013Elberta Peaches are self pollinating trees, they might not been pollinated good. Bee's are good to have for pollinating. If it was cold or other weather conditions might have hindered the pollination. I'm with Douglas on the fert spikes. The fertilizer doesn't get distribute good around the tree. Good info too Luis! :)Helpful Reply
