I had no idea those peaches grew and ripened so fast. Now it is a race against those pesky squirrels! Will look forward to that squirrel prevention video before the great harvest and celebration. Peachy is doing so great!
She really is doing good. I’m super excited for this year. Now we shall see about the squirrels 🐿️ 😒
Thank you so much! I bought a Bonanza Patio Peach Tree last year. When I received it, I was surprised that it had 10 little peaches. I was so happy until I found out that I would have to take them all off. By the way, I live in New Mexico and my tree's name is Miss Peachy too! Anyway, I checked on her today and she has 34 peaches and a lot of them are touching each other. I am glad I came across your video, because I wouldn't have known to thin her out. Hopefully this will help the peaches left grow healthy!
Thinning fruit trees is so hard. It hurts my heart but I definitely see a difference in the size and quality of the fruit when I do it. Before long, Miss Peachy will be producing more than you can eat.
Wish I could grow peaches 🍑, I love them. I'm stuck in a mango 🥭 growing climate. Never would get those chill hours.
There is a variety that grows with 150 chill hours. Does your area get that? If it makes you feel any better I tried mangos and the tree died each winter 😢
Hi neighbor. My peach tree produced about 10 peaches , after thinning, in our first year. Looking good. However, I went out the very next day and we were down to 2!! Darn squirrels. I have remaining 2 on the counter and hoping they finish ripening. I was so disappointed😢
Send some of those peaches over here! I have two peach trees one of them produced 0 and the other one produced 2. Hopefully I will have a bigger harvest next year. Thanks for the video.
I’ll be sending happy gardening vibes over to your peach trees 🌳 🍑
I had a great uncle in Alabama who had fairly good luck growing peaches. Here in Tennessee, I don't know anybody who does.
It gets warm in early spring, and the trees bloom. Then a cold snap kills the blooms.
The same thing happens here but even our coldest snaps won’t hurt the blooms. That’s probably why they work so well here.
I wonder what your neighbors think when they look out their window and see you anguishing over pulling a peach off the tree?It looks like 2023 is going to be a great year for peaches! Thanks, Mai'a.
Good question! That’s why I got a privacy fence. That way they don’t know how crazy I am about my plants 🤣
So good,interesting never knew only grew lemons,limes and oranges .you make it look so easy.
Haha 😂 It’s so hard to pick those off. Off camera I’m agonizing on each one I take off.
Welldone Mam !
your job is great ❤
We are just up the road from you and the peaches were coming in really nice BUT we have a big problem with squirrels and mainly raccoons. I had to wrap each peach. After thinning i take the large clear plastic strawberry containers and place them around the stem and duct tape them closed
They do snap closed but raccoons have claws and they're smart and persistent. I also wrap my crepe paper roll on the main stem of the tree under the base shape with lots of tanglefoot on it which is very sticky stuff. I don't know your email or i would send you a pic. It looks like we are growing containers. I think it is working. I have gone out the past 2 days and there were no pits on the ground. I lost sbout 20 peaches before i realized they were eating them. Normally they wait till they are a little softer but this year they're eating them hard and right down to the pit. This also keeps any bugs from crawling up the tree. I do this at the bottom of my figs, apples and plums. It is a lot of work but it's worth it for a good end result. Your videos are great and i always grab some new tidbits that i "an try on my trees.

That is such a good idea. Last year I lost a handful to squirrels but so far they haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll definitely try the strawberry containers if they get any ideas. 💚
Do you do anything to keep the squirrels out? Squirrels took all out peaches this year
My biggest deterrents are my dogs who I have taught to chase squirrels (they are too slow to catch them), leave water bowls on my fence so they go for that first rather than the peaches, and I pick my peaches at 50% ripe and let them finish inside. Usually the squirrels still get 1 or 2 but that’s about it.
I believe you left the wrong one. 😂😂
Lol, don’t tell me that 😂 I rethink my thinning choices for weeks after I do it.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a 🤣🤣 i can tell! I also saw you hesitate on the final choice, you had me laughing so hard cuz I would be the same way. 😆
@@janicemoyer854 Thinning hurts my heart, lol 😂 But now my peaches are doubling in size so I’m happy I did it now.
You need 2, don't you? You didn't mention that.
Good question. Most peaches don’t need a second tree. They are self fertile but any tree could benefit with a friend. I only have room for one though.
@Homegrown Florida that's my problem. Only so much room and the cost.
@@sonnyamoran7383 same here. I usually pick trees that are self fertile or when I know my neighbors have one too. The latest exception to that rule is my plum tree which I’m planning on grafting another variety onto it so I end up with 1 tree and 2 varieties that can pollinate each other.
