I think in going to need an advanced science degree as I spent this evening reading to try and get a handle on the pests and disease these trees face. Tip top environment will be the key I hope.
same with medicine and your veggies mate,healthy soil lends to healthy plants,bugs can sense a ill plant 2 weeks before you even notice something isnt right,so the main thing to avoid some of them is healthy soil. you gonna drive yourself batty reading all them books,just ease back and let her go ,when she want to buck put the spurs to her
You are right, sometimes I think we doubt nature too much. I had some weed plants to get flattened in a storm once and stood back up in a few days. It was amazing to watch.
I got them in today. The old back hurt so bad I didn’t even go back and get pics after I watered them in. I hope this is the start of something good.
I got a little tip for you – if you're digging fruit trees, you might wanna check out camphor trees too. They've got some cool vibes, especially if you're into unique and aromatic plants. More deets at https://www.mklibrary.com/camphor-tree/ . To answer the question on whether peach trees can grow from pits: yup, it's totally doable! You just need to clean the pit, dry it out for a few days, then crack it open gently to get the seed inside. Toss that seed in a plastic bag with some damp peat moss and chill it in the fridge for a few months. When spring rolls around, plant it in a pot with good drainage and let it grow a bit before moving it outside. Peach trees are pretty hardy, but they need some TLC, like regular watering and pruning to keep them happy.
Camphor is a soft wood, grows fast, we had #2 5' diameter removed due to rot. They are highly toxic to humans the smoke is toxic/irritating, don't burn it inside. A unique smell that supposedly keeps mosquitos away.
No need to panic but you don't want a face full/or to inhale any of it's smoke. It does keep the skeeters away, it smells like citronella.
Nachoboomer, I did some light research on this bc I use peach wood for bbq smoking, I found this: ......All parts of the peach tree, with the exception of the edible peach fruit, contain cyanide-producing compounds that are released when peach seeds, bark, and leaves are eaten..... EATEN is the word I emphasize here. One can say the above for most fruit trees. I found this as well: "Peach wood is a hardwood that burns long and clean but doesn't put out as much heat. Peach as has a pleasant, fruity smell, and is perfect for warming your home or smoking meats" I am not trying to disrespect you with this post. I am trying to make sure I am not poisoning myself, friends and family.
I said That Camphor trees are toxic, not peach. Fruitwood is precious to come by & excellent for smoking, give me hickory & apple.
