Not citrus but i need some guidance for pruning my peach tree

10 years ago

I need some pointers on lruning my trees. Peach tree had lots of peaches on it they just never got to mature size. They stayed about the size of a golf ball. Plum and nectarine were fine first year of production was good. Any pointers with pictures are appreciated

go to youtube, search for Dave wilson nursery channel. Tom spellman has some great videos on pruning backyard trees. Im starting a fruit orchard (peach plum, etc) next spring and will be incorporating his advice.

basically, prune from the center out to open the canopy up and control height for easy harvesting.

Fruit size is most likely small because of water or nutrients. Thinning can help increase size also.
