My Edible Fruit Trees: Dwarf Peach Trees

Dwarf Peach (Seedling)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. 

May 2020 - Was mildly sunburnt just after purchase and potting. Although it arrived full and bushy the tree has gradually dropped most of its leaves - perhaps due to the sunburn or winter approaching (if Apr-May isn't too early for this). It is still holding onto a few leaves and beginning to produce new ones - just looking a little straggly currently (photo uploaded). 

September 2021 - Has grown (branched) but remains a compact ~30cm height. Flowered for the first time this August - nil fruit set. Suffering from some peach leaf curl - however not on a high percentage of leaves. Currently in 20L pot.

DECEMBER 2019

 A small tree, exceptional yellow fruit with a free stone.  This peach has done well in our yard.  It seemed clear of curl leaf when I purchased but have sprayed just to make sure it's okay. with copper hydroxide.  Is planted in between an apricot and a nectarine in full sun along a fence with north west exposure and seems to be enjoying it.  Flowered this year but removed buds (only 2 year old tree)

Comments

Plethora of flowers but only 1-2 fruit set. This is year i only got 2 Peaches, they both are VERY BIG and exceptional quality My garden is Bee friendly and has many bee attracting plants and shrubs. Also fruit trees next to it ( Gulf gold Plum and Angel low chill peach ) they all get a heavy fruit set. so i am not concerned about pollination or pollinators. I do administer Winter dormancy spray ,when tree is dormant, with LIME SULFUR once every year but only when its dormant and not when in bud break or bloom. not sure why i may have a poor fruit set despite plethora of blooms ?

Fruited close to 20 peach in 2018, Nice tasty peach

fruited close to 14 Big peach in 2019-20 Season, Nice tasty peach

Planted July 2017 in bonsai bag in the ground. Bought bare rooted fron Daleys

It got a little confused in winter and has one little peach growing now in late winter. Has had some flowers so don't expect too many fruit this year but don't want too many anyway at only one year in the ground.

   Planted in a raised bed with full sun in late Jan 2017 (Gold Coast). Broke dormancy in late August, and produced eight attractive pink flowers. I allowed these to form small pea-sized fruit, then removed so the tree could put all its energy into establishing a strong root structure. The raised bed has a thick layer of cane mulch (about 150mm).

   I fertilize with varying ratios and amounts of Dynamic LIfter or Rooster Booster, sulphate of potash and blood and bone at the beginning of spring, summer and autumn. I also give fortnightly foliar sprays of a diluted solution of Seasol, Powerfeed for flowers and fruit, soluble sulphate of potash, and Epsom salts during the non-dormant months.

   I use a moisture meter, and water the tree as necessary.

   In the past year (to Jan 2018) the tree has grown really well (about 850mm tall), and this year I'll let it develop a few fruit for us to taste. I'll give it a bit of a haircut during winter when dormant.

Comments: - Pixzee Miniature Peach tree was purchased last year.  So far it has flowered and produced numerous little peaches that I picked off the tree. It seems to be living up to its name: it hasn't gotten much larger at all in the year that I've had it.
