Trixzie \'Pixzee\' Peach

Comments: -

Unfortunately I planted this tree in a sheltered position which seems to prevent the fruit from becoming nice and sweet. Fruit size and color is good though.

Tree is now above the fence line and the fruit is much sweeter. 

The two bigest problems I have is leaf curl (which can be controlled by spraying at the right time), and earwigs which chew the skin of the developing fruit.

Cling-stone Yellow Peach

Comments: -

Planted June 2009.

This peach tree was transplanted from my friend's garden. It is about 2YO when moved but it transplanted extremely well and bore flowers and fruit the first year on our property. The peaches are yellow clingstone and I have no idea what variety it is. They are crunchy and sweet and the favourite tree of my husband who has no interest in gardening.

Fruiting Months October, November, December

Planted: 2009

Height 3 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pollination: No

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Blood

When I Fertilise: Winter

Pest Control: Lime Sulfur before bud swell but it still got a fair bit of leaf curl. Will do twice a year of lime sulfur.

Organic Status:Partially Organic

Question: If I want to control the size of this tree, should I trim it in spring/summer so that I allow it to have time to grow new shoots before it goes dormant in winter? If I trim it only in winter, wont I lose a season of crops???

Peacharine ^9/10

Comments: -

This tree was planted in 2009 on two year old root stock and has grown very well. Good healthy foliage. Has just started to fruit this year. Terribly prone to Curly leaf. Missed spraying before bud burst this year due to excessive wet weather. I just remove the affected leaves each time I walk passed.

Peach - Anzac (Grafted) ^4/10

Comments: -

Bought from Bunnings. Very troublesome. Within 1st year of planting got curly leaf. Only knew it after the leafs came out, which is too late to control. Suspect it had it even before I purchased. Lesson to be learnt, if you plant stone fruits, always remember to do the copper treatment before buds swell. 2years but no fruits yet.

Prune in winter.

Dwarf Peach - Standard

I bought a dwarf tree thinking it would be a good idea for a suburban backyard. The dear little tree manages to produce a nice crop of fruits every year (though we have to fight off the earwigs) but I have learned NOT to buy dwarf trees. Horizontal space is the hardest to find in the backyard, bot vertical space. The ideal shape for a small garden tree is tall and thin. Like those 'Ballerina" apple trees. Not short and squat. The poor little tree just gets shaded by anything bigger that's nearby. In future I would buy a normal sized peach and just keep pruning it to size.

Thanks for this - you saved me from making a big mistake! Of course we want to go up, not out, when we have limited space!
