A very true and correct method to grow peach trees. Here in Pakistan we grow Florida King and Early Grand varieties. However, we use Calcium Polysulphide (1:2 ratio lime: sulphur) and Burdox paste as fungicide in winter, just after pruning. We give mixture of organic fertilizer with SOP, CAN, MgSO4 and ZnSO4 in winter (December). Their ratios are 3:3:3:2:1 respectively (total combine doze per plant is around 1 kg for mature tree). Additionally we also give Boran ( Boric Acid ) 100g per plant by end January which boosts flowering. Here blossoming of flower starts in February and fruit usually gets set by end of February to first week of March. In first week of April we spray diluted Jibralic Acid (20g in 100 liter water) to increase the fruit size. By first week of May fruit is ripen and ready for market. I forgot to mention that for. Fruit fly prevention we use insecticides just after the fruit setting is complete. Pruning is done to branches on the alternative year method as fruit only sets on 1 year old branch (recognised by it's pinkish colour) neither younger than 1 year branch nor older than 1 year branch.

Awesome tip with the neem oil to help the copper fungicide stick to to foliage! In my experience with the cooper fungicide it runs off far too easily. I'm gonna have to try that with the giant sequoia I'm growing here in Michigan. I've been treating them to prevent fungal blights from our excessive summer humidity. I lost one of the three I'm growing last summer to what I think was a juniper blight (kabatina tip blight).

The only thing I feed mine is 20-20-20 in early spring when she is waking up. I do have to hand pollinate the flowers, as there are no bees available beginning of April in Newfoundland, but it is easy and successful- near all took this year, and I actually had to thin the fruit out a bit to avoid breakage. Peaches were ready and bigger than baseballs early July- and probably the sweetest and juiciest I've ever had! She can be a handful for pruning, as space is limited, but well worth it! You are right about there being so many different approaches to obtaining successful harvest- not all of them match up, but work- I say, find what works best for your situation and keep running with it :) Thanks for the video :)

This is really good information. I wanted to add it to a playlist but I see no option on the right-hand side. The Surround is working pretty well on my peaches this year. I have a 20 or 30 year old tree that has been plagued with Plum Curculio all these years but although the Surround works it has to cover every part of the peach and thick because those bugs are beginning to find spots that I missed or washed off in the rain, so his method of using liquid 7 in early Spring before flowers form is something I might try next year so that those things cannot even try to drill into the fruit. Coating with Surround is not as easy as it sounds and I usually need to do it twice to make sure everything is coated well enough. The pump sprayer has some diffuculty spraying a consistent coat, especially when spraying the taller branches as it tends to spray the water and not the clay when pointing the wand upward. I do have to get on a ladder to do the top branches althouh my tree is fairly cup-shaped. I like his method of training the branches with supports. If I get a second tree I'll try that.
