Show TAKE CARE OF PEACH TREE As Soon as Fruit Has Been Gathered Remove All Dead Twigs and Diseased Branches. As soon as the fruit has been harvested, har-vested, all diseased fruit and dead twigs should be removed from peach trees Immediately. All weak limbs on the tree that show any sign of bark beetle injury should also be removed. If these dead twigs and limbs are allowed al-lowed to remain on the tree throughout through-out the summer, the bark beetle will gradually spread over the entire tree, and destroy it. Since the fruit buds for next year's crop are formed during late summer, it Is very evident that if a good crop of fruit is to be had next season the proper care should be taken of this year's growth. |
