2016 Peach Tree Pruning

Mrs. G,

I’m afraid there isn’t any going back. :disappointed: You could get lucky and have some adventious shoot come out down lower, but if the trees are very old they tend not to do that.

I made the same mistake on some of my first peach trees. I still have one of them. It’s a funny thing to look at. The scaffolds start about chest high or higher. To keep the tree w/in reach I prune it very vigorously. It transformed into a kind of weeping peach tree.

Blueberry,
I sent the pictures above on my phone at the farm. Now that I see them at home, I notice they don’t seem to show as much wood as what is really there, so perhaps your trees also have a lot more wood.
