Re: young peach tree vs. gravity

Ceman,
Good sized tree for a new plant. Maybe it is best to thin your crop. This will
reduce weight and maybe give larger 'walnuts'. I assume you have properly
pruned and trained this tree. If tree looks like willow without crop I would
consider heading back to increase girth of laterial branch stems.....Jim
