End of summer?

We have a greengage back in Reading that seemed to be going the same way but my wife cut out all the rotten bits in the main trunk and put Arbrex on it and it seems to have recovered and is growing again strongly. That makes a lot of sense. Plums regrow from their base and even rootstock all too readily - they are very difficult to remove! Cutting it down to ground level and letting one or a few shoots regrow might well work. We've never had success with peaches or apricots. The trees just die on us! We had a reasonable apple harvest last year and made sixty bottles of cider, but it'll be in excess of that this year. I am doing reasonably well with a peche de vigne - not great for eating, but excellent for cooking! I shall discover how resistant it is to peach leaf curl, as it is now 15' high and it isn't feasible for me to remove all of the infected leaves. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
