nectarine tree advice please?
Hello,
I've got two nectarine trees growing planted two to three years ago. One is pretty large maybe 9-11 feet high and the other which I think gets a lot less sun is only about 6 feet. Both (particularly the large one) get fruit, but in past years bugs and the local wildlife have mostly gotten it. This year I'm going to spray shortly, so hopefully some of the fruit will get to mature. My question is with the larger tree one of the longer branches appears to be bending under the weight of the fruit which is larger than a quarter at this point and great in number. (It's also been very rainy so that could be why?) There's probably 25 of the little things on a 4 foot branch. Should I pluck half or so of them off? I'm worried that the branch might actually snap, and that the great number of fruit might keep the tree from producing any that are normal sized. They are starting to turn red, so I'm guessing I should act quickly? |
