Chillin' In The Garden
Now for the peach tree question.
Peach trees usually do pretty well in this area. The one we have inside the yard fence however is small, stunted looking and produces maybe 1 or two peaches a season. The peaches it produces are small and usually fall off before they ever get close to ripe.
I don't know what's wrong with this tree. It is planted pretty darn close to a hibiscus bush that is the hibiscus bush from he**. The bush is at least 5 feet in diameter and stands well over 6 foot high. Biggest hibiscus I've ever seen. It gets plume full of blooms throughout the spring and summer and the bumblebees and hummingbirds love it. Anyhow, back to the peach tree...could the hibiscus be sucking up all the good stuff outta the soil and slowly starving the peach tree to death? I like em both, but if I had to pick, the bush would stay and the peach tree would go.
P.S. The hibiscus bush is only rivaled by the forsythia (yellow bell) growing on the other side of the yard. It takes up three panels of fencing and is going to get a serious pruning this week.
