    Skip the soil sample, just stick it in the ground and see what happens, unless your planning on moving.

    I might actually test my soil before I begin planting my orchard but as far as the sand goes I'm planning on using my backhoe to help me out.

    How deep to plant the Indian peach. they grow here native. My peach trees were killed by ICE and tornadoes. But I was able to save the peach seeds. My ? is do I start them in a bucket or can I plant them in the ground.How deep to plant? do they need fertilizer? how much water do they need as seed? or should I wait till I have a tree sprouted. my soil is sandy red ground.

    I’m totally confused about what you said about pot plants. Do I take the mesh off and expose the roots or not?

    • @angelo5902
      @angelo5902 4 роки тому +1

      I think he meant to say that you should take care to free up any root-bound roots. You should definitely take the mesh off and expose the roots before planting.

    • @alicesmith7913
      @alicesmith7913 4 роки тому +1

      Absolutely take the mesh off, anytime you have such a plant, take the mesh off before planting it. The roots wont be able to grow and spread if they're keep in their mesh, might even cause it to die and you don't want that to happen.

    Hi Mike, I have a small peach tree about a year old. It is still in a container. When do I bring it inside for the winter? I live in Maryland so it gets pretty cold here.

    • @dr.greenthumb6535
      @dr.greenthumb6535 Рік тому

      Depends on variety.. I have a peach tree that's over 10' tall with 6 scaffold braches. It survives winter here in zone 5... I do mulch heavily in fall and remove 1/2 the thickness early spring.. happy gardening 😊

    my peach tree is like 20 x 20 ft, and for the last 5 years my peaches get a jelly like substance and then the fruit rots and drys out. Some of the leaves get yellow and drop, I've also notices ants walking up and down the trunk, I checked the leaves and see some holes but no aphids. I have lots of peaches on it now about an inch in size, I've already put organic fertilizer on it last month.

      Hi Doug, Yes, Peach trees are basically self-pollinating, so it can produce peaches with just one tree. It is a challenge to grow peaches, however, due to the pest and disease problems. Proper pruning is important. There's lots of good information on the peach portal so be sure to read up on pests, fertility, and pruning there on the website.

    Hi! I have a question. I planted a dwarf peach tree last year. It was like 1 foot tall when i planted. It is about 5 feet now. Its leafs started to have reddish/orange spots and they turn yellow and eventually fall. What's up with that? What do I do? I tried neem oil, but it doesn't seem to help.

      could be many things. too much water, too little water, or not enough nitrogen. Not enough info to tell if it is fungus or bacteria.

    • @lindaburns7477
      @lindaburns7477 5 років тому

      At this point in time, there aren't really any dwarf or semi-dwarf peach trees available. If you're interested in learning more about good varieties, this link has a good list and descriptions, including harvest dates: peaches.ces.ncsu.edu/peaches-educational-resources-for-home-gardeners/

    Horrible. It's pretty much sand, they spray chemical fertilizers and don't mulch, no wonder store bought peaches taste worse.
