[Arid_gardener] Peach Tree Question

[Ellen Stobaugh]

Hi to all,

I hope everyone is doing great! We have three peach trees, one of which is at least 17 years old. Some years it's been pruned back a lot and some years not at all or very little. This spring it had a lot of small peaches on it, and it always looked kind of wilted. We know it was getting enough water because we keep an eye on the drip system. Today I went out and noticed that on a good part of the branches a lot of the leaves are drying up and turning brown. Any ideas why? The tree is a Desert Gold. Is there a life expectancy for peach trees? The other two trees are doing fine. One is a Desert Gold and the other is a Tropic Snow (white fleshed) peach tree.

Thank you for your time and help. Have a great day.

Ellen
