The fallen over Christmas decorations don't make it look any better either. The tips of the tree almost looked diseased. Almost all of the leaves have dropped now and I'm just waiting another month or two to do some pruning. It seems like only yesterday, it had been blown over by Tropical Storm Fay. Here's how it looked back in April when I planted it.
I'm going to follow the advice of a fellow blogger when it comes to pruning the tree

Indeed, low-chill peaches are the way to go here in Florida. Here's a link to the UF/IFAS publication on this topic. And here's one on pruning, Based on the recommendations, you should probably wait until late winter to prune.
We live on the Oregon/Washington border and it is getting cold and nasty here. I can't wait for winter to be over (and it hasen't even started yet!). My garden is dead, my trees are leafless, I can't wait for spring. -Lee
ReplyDeleteThat UF tree will surely rally in the 4th Quarter and come back better than ever. Go Gators!!
