Sorry about that. I'm not surprised to hear the tree is blooming in the fall, especially since it's young and hasn't had many years to build seasons in your yard. Bloom could be brought on in a low chill tree like Eva's Pride by a period of drought followed by a deep watering. As the tree grows and starts to be productive, you will want to thin the fruit. Eva overproduces like nobody's business. Even after mercilessly thinning, my Eva would bear so much branches would break. Every year I had to force myself to thin more, but the benefits of thinning definitely paid off: healthier tree, bigger and better tasting fruit. Good luck with your tree!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-18078286915166613682019-09-04T18:34:24.830-07:002019-09-04T18:34:24.830-07:00Christina, update: one of the original two peaches...Christina, update: one of the original two peaches fell off and a deer got the other.

Most of my trees came from Trees of Antiquity, but some others came from Peaceful Valley (aka Grow Organic). I suggest planting bare-root for the most success. You may have missed your window this year.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-73489730258790385152017-05-03T08:37:49.401-07:002017-05-03T08:37:49.401-07:00Where do you buy your peach trees?

Yes, they take work--winter and summer pruning, dormant spray, careful mulching, but the bang is worth much more than the buck, especially for a very productive tree, like Eva's Pride.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-28023706887408790452012-06-12T20:05:13.844-07:002012-06-12T20:05:13.844-07:00These peach leathers look amazing.
