Almost no leaves on Peach tree!!
We just moved into our new home. In the garden is a Peach tree, Apple Tree
and Pear Tree. The apple and pear tree have their leaves but the peach tree has very few leaves. The leaves are mostly to the top of the tree. The tree looks very stark like you would expect it to look in the fall. What could be the problem? I don't know what kind of care this tree has gotten from the previous owners. I do know that it had fruit last year, it clearly will not have fruit this year being as it can't even grow leaves. What can I do????? I really would like to keep/save this tree! The Apple tree and Pear tree look fine. They are very leafy and full. BTW what do I need to do to the apple and pear tree so we don't get bugs in the fruit? I am really new to fruit trees so I am clueless! If someone could recommend a good websit about taking care the these fruit trees I would really appreciate the link!

My first is that you've had extensive rain and the tree's roots have been standing in soil that has been saturated for an extended period. I lost a peach and nectarine tree when this happened last year in much the manner you described. The second thought is that you might have borers that can also kill peach trees unless controlled.

Almost no leaves on Peach tree!!
I live in Portland OR. This year we have had a lot of rain! Well let me say
we had a very dry fall and winter and a very wet spring. That could be the cause along with something else. For the past year the garden has been largely ignored so I suspect possibly some disease. Someone from this list suggested getting ahold of the County Extension Service to have it checked out. I am not sure how to go about finding a County Extension Service being as I've never heard of it before. Any ideas?? "B & J" wrote in message ... "Nikkie Adams" wrote in message thlink.net...

in addition to wet feet and borers, peach trees need to be pruned.
