Question
prixzie nectarine / peach
Hi - I bought a dwarf peach / nectarine tree, and the upper portion of the plant is as healthy as anything, even with small fruits forming, but the lower half of the tree seems to be losing yellowish small leaves, which are dropping at the rate of around 10 / day. Is this an indication of over / under feeding or other issues? thank you
Answer
What climate zone are you in? Nectarine and Peach trees are deciduous and should be losing there leaves this time of year (October) if not earlier in North America. Other than time of year the yellow leave maybe a sign of over or under watering or lack of nutrients. Not sure what "prixzie" means?
