    We pruned our peach tree this year, it is loaded with peaches, but the leaves are very thin. I am concerned that this will damage the tree. Not sure if we should feed it, or any ideas?
    Cheers

    Hi Cody,

    i think peaches are similar to other top fruit in that you should thin out the fruit around this time of year to get quality rather than quantity.

    is it in a pot or the ground?

    a picture of the leaves you are worried about might help, i'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will be along shortly

    I was advised to feed mine once a week with tomato feed. I got a good crop of small but sweet and juicy peaches.
