I got a peach tree on clearance from Walmart for $12. I placed it in a large container and put in my back yard. Didn't do much with it but I harvested around 25 very large peaches off my small tree. It was amazing!
I'm also in Michigan and was very fortunate to have a peach tree planted in my yard when I moved in. It is 5 years old now, about 12 feet tall, and producing around 80 peaches this year, soon to be ripe. Last year they were incredibly delicious. Very hard to find similar in the stores, just like any other produce.
from my experience (I live in San Francisco) peach trees generally grow well until they start fruiting. I have 3 white peach trees grown from seed and they had bright green leaves and no signs of disease or anything for 4-5 years. But when they started flowering/fruiting they started to get leaf curl.
Love your videos. Got me excited to grow again with your 87 year old red crimson. I do have to say though, growing in a suburban environment has proved different for my fruit trees than at my family farm. At my family farm, our neighbors leave old trees up that bring coddling moth. They don't care if they get a harvest. I can do how you do at my suburban house and get a full fruiting but your assertion that fruit trees can keep pests out from laying in blossom is spurious at best. Your message should only be for suburban growers as in agricultural areas the pests are attuned to super healthy trees. Love your channel .
Awesome harvest of those peaches 🍑 we just planted our peach tree earlier this spring and went out tonight and actually saw little peaches all over this tree starting! I hope we are able to keep it all healthy and happy till harvest time! It’s exciting!
I live in NC mountains I don't think many of any around where I live grow any peaches. Surely if you can grow them like that in MI, we could grow them here.We are over 3,000 ft up and usually get our peaches from SC.Thanks alot, now my mouth is watering...Beautiful peaches!!
I still love that you are in Michigan. It's helping me prepare for a small garden in my apartment in Ann Arbor. Also let's face it Michigan peaches, cherries, and blueberries are the best so those are going to be AWESOME peaches and I'm jealous and want some of your peaches lol.
I love peach cobbler it’s probably one of my favorite. I planted a pear tree black berries and raspberries this year next year I’m going to do a peach, banana and avocado.
My peach trees have been in the ground for 3 years. We spray NOTHING on them. No disease, no pest issues. It IS possible. Granted, some growing conditions are going to be more difficult than others. But it is absolutely possible to grow a 100% organic orchard and have great results. We made a lot of peach crisp and put a ton of peaches in the freezer.
Wow....been watching your video's all day! Been subscribed for a while but just felt I needed to comment. Plus I just ordered my first pak of Trifecta + yesterday and can't wait to get it in my garden on plants that have been established but need some kick for the rest of the season. Good growing you guys!
I'm from Southern Michigan and I just bought 2 beautiful Peach trees! I also hope I can grow these organically! Have you noticed since you guys made this video that you had to start spraying or are your trees still doing fine without pesticides? Any information on this will be helpful, ty for your video!
This really is a great way to cut your food bill. One tree produced over $50 in peaches in its first year, and in total we got around $65 worth of peaches. Our apples and pears will fruit next year, our strawberries will fruit next year, so will our fig, pomegranate, and brambles.
MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living I live in Michigan....how is it possible to grow pomegranate, fig and other warm weather trees???
You know what, I said to myself as the peaches were being picked, "They can make some decent peach cobblers with that many fruits", and what does she say, Peach cobbler!! Great minds and all... :D
Where do I find your Peach growing guide I've had peach trees in my front yard for 3 years now they did amazing the first year the second year they did horrible with no peaches this year the trees are about 10 ft tall with no peaches but they look amazing.
My trees had disease from the time they were bought but i didn’t know it. 13 years later, I’m finally getting a harvest, but 1/2 of them have brown rot(now that i know what that is! ) Yes, i will spray from now on, unapologetically!
Your garden seems a bit more organized than mine. In about 6 square feet I have corn, lettuce, basil, tobacco, tomatoes, radishes, and parsley growing.
I have a family of six. Looks like I'm going to be growing my peaches nonorganically. It's sad, but I'd rather have a *lot* of fresh peaches instead of a snack. I'll be sure to wear PPE and use a tent so I don't get any of the chemicals on my organic stuff. I just got my first peach tree. I'm planning on buying at least one more in Winter. I'll give organic a try and see how it goes for a couple of seasons, maybe. My tree is 2 and should fruit next spring. I'm also in FL not MI. Some things are easier and some are added challenges.
I've been wanting to try a peach tree but everybody has been discouraging me with all the stories about how difficult they are to get a crop from. Loved the encouragement from your video.
Hey luke and Cindy .great yummy peaches 🍑 so luke where your growing Guide for peaches.. or did I miss that video..Cindy love to have your peaches cobbler recipe.. Thanks you are both great .🤗 Blessing 👩🌾
My parents had a peach tree but it was full of fungi every year and even the peaches would sometimes get fungi or mold looking. They tried to fix it by spraying things on it but it never got better so they eventually cut it off. I just got a peach tree last week and the little peaches are even o the tree already. How can I keep fungi from growing on it without spraying pesticides? Thank u
These trees are in their first year aren't they? Amazing! Our peach trees here down under, no matter what you do or how you look after them, get fruit fly real bad! Fruit fly causes so disappointment here on the east coast of Australia-they destroy tons of fruit! Would love to see preserving recipes-for your stone fruits, beets etc-if you don't want to put them up here, what about breathing more life into Micasa Vlogs?
I have a question about peaches. A few months ago I have succesfully germinate the seed of a peach. The plant is growing fine but here in Holland many plants become infected with mildew caused by optimal weather conditions (high temperatures and a high humidity level). My peach plant has no signs of fungus, but I think to use sulfur to prefent a fungus infection. Could sulfur damage a very young peach plant?
Congratulations. I planted my very first peach tree and I have had some many problems. Japanese beetles have destroyed it. It's a one year old tree. It's was very healthy when I bought it. Please share method. I have almost given up on it. Help
Gotta question for ya - I have the same thing in my yard. I bought the house with a mature peach tree in the backyard - it fruits every year but the fruit never matures. It falls off green and hard about the size of a ping pong ball. Do you think I need to prune it? Appreciate the video! Thanks! -Sam.
Actually did you know that the weight on the tree from the peaches and the stress on the stem thickens the trunk . My grandfather grew peach trees in Hawaii on the big island. And the first. Ten years he would let the peaches just fall to the ground and rot and the worms eat the fruit and turn it into stronger nutrients today they are all so beautiful productive and delicious
they love my apples as well. i have a bigger tree so they leave some for us as well but i totally get where your coming from. If you have a smaller tree try wrapping the whole thing in tulle. I use a dark green color so it blends in better. Its pretty inexpensive. If you live up north Pat Catan's is going out of business and has got a great sale on tulle. If not its pretty cheap in general.
Those are beautiful peaches! How old are the trees? Do you fertilize with trifecta? I gotta look up your peach vids lol :) great harvest! Sindy, you look beautiful!
Sure wish you could grow organic in NC. But we have huge green June beetles, japanese beetles, peach borers and very hot humid weather (not to mention hungry deer, raccoons, possums etc). Not ideal for peaches. If I just miss a spray or two my peaches get fungal disease or eaten. Borers attacked my tree without me even knowing till I had sap leaking from the trunk all over the and leaves turning yellow. Maybe Michigan has better soil and fewer pests and less humidity. I learned my lesson from another video..."if it rains, spray again". I've found it's the only way I get some to eat and not the bugs.

DUDE!! EPIC!! Those look so delicious!
This is the first video I've seen with "Mrs. MI gardener". She is so sweet! She seems so kind and loving.
I'm also in Michigan and was very fortunate to have a peach tree planted in my yard when I moved in. It is 5 years old now, about 12 feet tall, and producing around 80 peaches this year, soon to be ripe. Last year they were incredibly delicious.

First time I heard of peach cobbler dish, but very nice video of ripened peaches being picked...
It always makes me happy when i get a MIgardener notification. Especially when it is a harvest video.
Me too...
Your videos bring warmth feelings .Great to see couples sharing a common interest.Stay strong.
I got 2 peach trees I started from seed on their second year and just sprayed them with cold pressed neem oil it’s the only thing I trust right now
from my experience (I live in San Francisco) peach trees generally grow well until they start fruiting. I have 3 white peach trees grown from seed and they had bright green leaves and no signs of disease or anything for 4-5 years. But when they started flowering/fruiting they started to get leaf curl.
Beautiful peaches... would Mrs gardener share her peach cobbler recipe?
I had a 86 trees i watered with 5 gallon bucket for 2 years
I was 13
My favorite 5 variety peach tree had a branch that had 4 pound peaches
Congratulations on a great harvest you guys!!!
Hey ...you know you can make thee best tasting peach jelly with thee peels. The recipe just calls for the peels. Its awsome.
Love your videos. Got me excited to grow again with your 87 year old red crimson.

It’s exciting!
I just can't wait to have a yard once again. That is awesome production for that size tree.
I live in NC mountains I don't think many of any around where I live grow any peaches. Surely if you can grow them like that in MI, we could grow them here.We are over 3,000 ft up and usually get our peaches from SC.Thanks alot, now my mouth is watering...Beautiful peaches!!
Beautiful harvest! I can almost smell them!
I still love that you are in Michigan. It's helping me prepare for a small garden in my apartment in Ann Arbor. Also let's face it Michigan peaches, cherries, and blueberries are the best so those are going to be AWESOME peaches and I'm jealous and want some of your peaches lol.
How exciting!! Sindy, can you do a video and the recipe of your special cobbler?
Wow I watch you plant that little tree nice.
My Peach Tree is organic too. And I was so blessed last year all my 3 trees are full of fruits, sweet and juicy.
I love peach cobbler it’s probably one of my favorite. I planted a pear tree black berries and raspberries this year next year I’m going to do a peach, banana and avocado.
You guys are adorable! I live in Michigan and next year, I too will have a peach tree!

wow what a harvest that was a good tree well enjoy your peach cobbler because I well be enjoying it on the other end just thinking about it

You guys are so cute. Beautiful peaches. Thank you for sharing.
Holy cow! I was going to order two trees but then I saw how many peaches just one tree produces
Nice peaches i have same peach plants in my garden they are now at flowering stage.
those peachs look great but they a very small .next spring try taking every other bud off this will give you less peaches but larger with same taste.
Very Nice peaches! I love peaches!!
Do have tips how to grow peaches?
Wow! Can't wait till next year to plant an equilvilent of and orchard to offset my fruit bill.
This really is a great way to cut your food bill. One tree produced over $50 in peaches in its first year, and in total we got around $65 worth of peaches. Our apples and pears will fruit next year, our strawberries will fruit next year, so will our fig, pomegranate, and brambles.

When he asked what she had planned I thought peach cobbler as well lol
Gorgeous peaches....will you be sharing your peach cobbler recipe?
As an organic gardener what would you do if you found peach tree borers eating the trunk? You know at the base if you found the sap oozing out?
You guys are absolutely adorable!

Ahhhhhhh I love peach soooo much!!!!!!!!

I'm also in FL not MI. Some things are easier and some are added challenges.
Brown rot got most of mine.
lansing mi here, frost got my 2 apple and my 1 peach tree flowers no fruit
The peaches song is playing in my head
I can see peach jam, peaches & cream, peach ice cream, I'm a peach lover, yummy. Larry
How do you keep the squirrels off the peach tree?
If you plant peach pits will they grow similar to parent fruit? And could I just use an organic peach pit? Do you ever grow grapes?
That is an amazing harvest.
Yall are beautiful. Gives me hope for America. God bless. Indiana. P.s. what kind of peach is it?
Y'all are so cute! Congrats on all those peaches! :)
How do you keep the birds & squirrels from eating the fruit
mines a red haven and i planted it a year ago
Nice harvest!
You are awesome too buddy.
I've been wanting to try a peach tree but everybody has been discouraging me with all the stories about how difficult they are to get a crop from. Loved the encouragement from your video.
Great job!
How do you keep the squirrel and birds away from it?
I love you
Peach tea! Yummy!
great couple “ wonderful garden...
Hey luke and Cindy .great yummy peaches 🍑 so luke where your growing Guide for peaches.. or did I miss that video..Cindy love to have your peaches cobbler recipe..
Thanks you are both great .🤗

Which fertilizer do you use? How do you keep away?
Even my eyes are watering .....

it is so interestiing one tree has arlot of fruits
When did you plant this tree?
Is peach and Apricot are the same fruit or different?
Actually did you know that the weight on the tree from the peaches and the stress on the stem thickens the trunk . My grandfather grew peach trees in Hawaii on the big island. And the first. Ten years he would let the peaches just fall to the ground and rot and the worms eat the fruit and turn it into stronger nutrients today they are all so beautiful productive and delicious
That’s a lot of peaches!! Love it! How old was the tree at this time? I can’t wait till my trees are planted and start growing! 🥳
Are those off a dwarf tree?
So nice
How do you prune and care for your trees?
how long ago did you plant that tree?
What are the natural deffense mechanisms of peach trees?
Red havens...The best peaches in the world. My opinion.
All my fruit trees are organic, the only bad news is the squirrels love them, too! ☹️
Txnative7 haha, well they have to eat too, as long as they don't take all your fruit.
they love my apples as well. i have a bigger tree so they leave some for us as well but i totally get where your coming from. If you have a smaller tree try wrapping the whole thing in tulle. I use a dark green color so it blends in better. Its pretty inexpensive. If you live up north Pat Catan's is going out of business and has got a great sale on tulle. If not its pretty cheap in general.
Put a tall electric fence around your tree
Those are beautiful peaches! How old are the trees? Do you fertilize with trifecta? I gotta look up your peach vids lol :) great harvest! Sindy, you look beautiful!
The peach trees are around 3-4 years old, we do fertilize with trifecta, and we water them weekly to boost growth and reduce stress.
Thank you Luke! :)
