quote:Mature Peach trees need heavy annual pruning. Prune your tree in winter. Cut out two-thirds of previous year's growth.
What's the proper care of a mature peach tree?
Peaches are heavy feeders, so they need regular supply of nitrogen. A balance fertilizier with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied at/before bud break [depending on the area, around late March or so]; read/follow manufacturer's label for application, storage and disposal.

a little bag of onion bulbs
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They like a sweet soil too, so a dressing of dolomite may help. Not too much nitrogenous fertiliser. A little neglect once the bulbs start to form seems to help (As opposed to getting too much water).

How old is the peach tree? Peaches only bear fruit for about 20 years, then they quit. Pruning it out if its old wont make it bear fruit.
Fruit on peaches bear on last years green wood. Prune out old wood, but leave a scaffold.

This peach tree looks really old, but I don't know just how old. I think I'll prune it and see if it blooms next year. If nothing happens, we'll whack it down.

Two questions: I picked up a little bag of onion bulbs (I guess that's what they're called) at HD yesterday. Any tips for success? I've gathered that they need loosened soil, with plenty of humus mixed in. Full sun? Mulch?
Our new house has a really old peach tree that looks like it could use some pruning. What's the proper care of a mature peach tree?
Thanks!
