Last winter we finally had at least or close to temps below 45 for 400 hours. Fruit trees, particularly peaches will show beautiful flowers, but if the chill hours aren't there the blossoms abort the fruit along with them when they fall off. I'd wait until February to prune them. Let the leaves produce energy now. I agree, but peaches set fruit on new wood. So, my line of thinking was that if I cut out all the largest and oldest limbs I'd encourage new growth. Then, in February prune it back into the scaffold I have it pruned into now. I'm going to go take a look at Dromgool's peach orchard at the store. |
