The UF Sun Peach Tree Fell Over

No tremendous flooding here in Stuart from Tropical Storm Fay, but lots of wind. Two garden blogger buddies in Ft. Pierce (20 miles north) had a lot of flooding (buddy a buddy b).

During a break in the rain yesterday, I ventured outside to check on the garden and found the peach tree (which I'm OCD about these days) had fallen over. I propped it back up and all was well. I lost a few smaller plants that snapped in half, and John spent three hours cleaning out the pool.

    Did you have the tree 'staked?' Don't forget how strong winds can be and no matter how sturdy a tree seems (even big 108" box trees or larger) a big gust of wind can really bring them down. I've seen trees that weren't staked or guy wired come down on parked cars and even on a house once... those are hard lessons learned!

    I like your blog.. please come check out my new blog sometime where we post tips for landscaping, gardening and offer some free plants and images.
