Spraying Peach Trees - Family Plot

[@stefkadank-derpjr1453]

Thank you this is just what I needed to see. When I purchased my property there were several peach trees that had been neglected some even had kudzu that had grown up through them but I knew they were alive and I could get them back in shape and I did. The problem is, I could never get a good fruit from them. Most of the peaches it seemed like had some sort of insect damage on them or they just didn't grow and develop well. I knew I had pruned, I knew I had fertilized so I went to speak to a peach orchard owner to see if he could help me to figure out what I was doing wrong. He asked if I was spraying them. I said no I wanted to grow them organically. He then said you're not even hitting them with a little bit of sulfur? I told him no. Then he just said well the best of luck with that.

[@timsimmons3479]

Excellent info guys@! probably explains why I have no apples (spraying within 21 days of bloom). Also need to spray fungicide more often for brown rot on my peaches.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Good Luck! Glad we could help.

[@cleofasgomez267]

Love all of Mr Ds videos.

[@corneliac6253]

Your video was very clear and helpful. Thank you! I am using a lime sulfur spray and my small tree is at the stage where the pink buds are visible but not yet opened. I had peach leaf curl last year. Should i still spray now or just wait until fall?

[@scottconcertman3423]

That's okay I like the way pesticides and fungicides taste. If Only They did not burn real bad when getting it in one's eyes. Of course it's no joke when mine required PPE protection

This guy knows his stuff!

[@frankdavidson9675]

not really wrong spray wrong time of year he is useing captan which is used to kill black rot on grapes he is spraying in april he would be better off useing copper and daconile mix on peach trees in november and dec when all the leaves are gone that fungus is in the bark off the tree the leaves are in the way in april i do this every year it works

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

What he is doing is recommended by Cooperative Extension Services in many states. With peaches in humid areas you need to spray a fungicide every 7-14 days all through the growing season.

@@FamilyPlotGarden well im 87yrs old only been growing peaches about 60 yrs so i know what works for me in south carolina so you go ahead and spray in the summer time

[@limbhacks3961]

Whey - I heard you could whey from cheese making as a safe effective fungicide. Have you tried this?

[@trinkladd]

8 foot diameter tree. Wow that's huge

[@andredias4429]

What kind of fungicide

[@davidcoreywithcrop8686]

Do I spray nectarine TREE if it has fruit,with neem oil

[@janamorgan2552]

I have a peach tree that my daddy planted years ago and it has never been pruned that I know of. Three years ago I got about 10/5 gallon buckets of peaches off of it. The last few years my peaches have had worms in them plus a clear thick jelly type stuff on them. What kind of fertilizer, pesticide ect. do I need to use and since it is an old tree how do I need to prune it? I also have some younger peach trees that I need the same kind of help with.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

The gooey oozing is caused by the oriental fruit moth. It can be controlled with the same spray schedule Mike outlines in the video below. We have a couple videos that would help you out: Insects, diseases, and what to spray and when: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4PYY553pbOaZqM Pruning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeapIugq9V0b68 Also, I would suggest contacting your local Extension Service. They will have publications and can give you advice about peaches in your area and can make recommendations specific to where you live. Hope you have many more years of good peaches off that tree!

[@frankdavidson9675]

i start spraying my peach trees about thanks giving useing copper mixed wiyh daconil spray about two week intervals try to get at laest 4 sprays in before blooms start this takes care of leaf curl works great ps im in zone 8 south carolina peaches bloom about feb 1 too early????

Are saying copper and sulfer wont work?

[@AzimuthTao]

Wearing all kinds of protective clothes but breathing every bit of it in.

[@shyfullsobbog8986]

What kind spray

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

This is how you would spray fungicide or insecticide.

[@karlstine2065]

How long do you continue spraying every 7-10 days? Till fruit is picked?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

You continue until harvest and sometimes longer. Here is a video of him explaining the different problems you are spraying for and then when to do the spraying: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4PYY553pbOaZqM

[@Maraca777]

What is he spraying? Cooper? Sulfur? Captan? He didn't say

[@Maraca777]

Nevermind... Captan 😁

[@iloke11]

Somewhere around5:00 he says he’s using a fungicide ..

[@iloke11]

Captan

[@khinegorogodo8577]

Hello do I continue to spray the fungicide even during tree dormancy? Thank you.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

I will defer to the official publications for the answer. In Tennessee the publication is: ag.tennessee.edu/EPP/Redbook/Home%20fruit%20spray%20guide%20PB1622.pdf Other states have similar guides customized to their climates.

[@MattyDemello]

I thought Captan would kill bees?

[@huallacanes100]

do i mix the chemicals with water and the detergent in the sprayer?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Yes. Fill the sprayer about half way. Then, add the chemicals and detergent. Then fill it up the rest of the way. While doing the second fill you can rinse your measuring device into the tank. It will keep the chemicals from going down the drain. Remember to shake it one you put on the lid.

[@huallacanes100]

[@kevin-od6cn]

I get mixed up about what to spray and when. When is it best to use copper fungicide? How often? Most of my peaches now have brown rot, what did I do wrong? I thought need oil spray was going to help.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

We asked the Family Plot your question and this is what they said: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInYiGCJd9GFjcU. You can get the fruit tree spraying guide they mentioned here: www.familyplotgarden.com/qa-ndash-what-should-i-spray-on-my-peaches-and-when.html. Thanks for the question!

Lol I've never had any bug issues with my peach trees Because I use other plants as pest control which is most effective Don't have to manage anything but looks like you have to do Lotz of work lmao 😂 Spraying trees lol Why would I ever bother fixing a problem with the worst solution available lol

i believe you assitant was standing downwind you were spraying toward him not smart on his part should have been behind you.

[@tmotley505]

man I hope you didnt spray the black dude

[@takuya7523]

You spray all your tree with that little bottle. My god you have to fill it up so many times. It is just slow and hard work.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Thankfully we don't have to spray the whole orchard by hand, that would be a lot of work. We actually shot this demonstration at Jones Orchard in Millington, TN. They were kind enough to let us spray one of their trees. They spray the whole orchard with their commercial spraying systems.

[@mountaingirl8124]

This kills bees. :(

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

This is why you don't use an insecticide while the plant is in bloom. Fungicide only. Once the petals have dropped the bees won't come to the tree. That is when you add the insecticide to the mix to stop Plum curculio, the insect that is the worm in your peach.

[@mandyhaven4290]

I also recently read fungicide while not as bad as insectacide can harm bees

[@christinemccoy4471]

@@mandyhaven4290 Answer is the same. Don't spray in bloom

[@annabanana8149]

Years ago my next door neighbor had some bigass banana trees growing on 3 sides of his backyard. He never tended to them and they got about 4ft around at the bottom pushing on the wood fence we shared. My brother who was a die in the wool Round Up man suggested I just spray em when he wasn't around. So I did ( you always listen to your to your older brother). About a week later just the edge of the leaves had turned brown. Time to get serious. Made a run to the feed store and picked up a syringe and needle for doctoring horses. Filled er up right outa the bottle and gave all 8 trees a shot about 4ft from the bottom. A week went by and they just started to sag, I went on a weeks vacation. When I came back those trees looked like they had been dead for 10 years! Moved 5 years later and not a word spoken!!!
