I recently planted a RedGlobe Peach tree in my backyard. I followed
the planting instructions that came with the tree and have been
watering it regularly. Now the leaves are starting to turn yellow and
are falling. Any ideas whats going on and what i can do to prevent it
?
Thanks

Yellowing of foliage can be caused by overwatering. Have you fertilized?

Humus is not fertilizer. It helps restore soil and build organic matter to
support organisms in the soil. If you are over watering, that is the problem.
I use Sustane or LadyBug brand fertilizer on my peach tree and after three
years a one foot slip is now ten feet tall and has a bushel of peaches coming
on.

I also foliar feed about once a week.

It must be a terrible responsibility to be an expert on every subject.
