Greetings,
4 years ago we planted (did not fo any soil prep) a peach tree. We live in
Tampa FL so the soil is sort of sandy. Ever since it seems that the tree
does not grow but does bloom some (has not bore any fruit). I guess my soil
is the problem. What can I do without removing the tree that will help it
along? Also there are a lot of small branches that have formed. Any idea on
pruning/trimming my 7 foot tree that is about 4 feet wide?
Thanks

Hopefully you have a Florida peach. Tampa is too far south for standard
cultivars. They are usually pretty easy to grow, but are susceptible to insect
damage. A couple of tfruit tree fertilizer spikes wouldn't hurt and might help.
As for pruning, I just take out a few middle branches so that each branch gets
full sunlight.
