Thank's this was just want I needed...this is the first year the bugs did not get all of my peaches. Thank you for making it easy to tell when they are ready.
Very informative video, but how do you deal with pests that are competing for your peaches? I have a suburban home in Texas and a peach tree in my backyard is full of green peaches, but already the squirrels are starting to pick them, eat a bite, and then drop the rest of the fruit to rot on the ground. There are houses surrounding my property so I can't shoot them safely, but if I wait til the peaches are as ripe as those in the video I'll have nothing left.
Those peaches and peach trees look great! I just planted two year old trees in our yard this year, so i can't wait until they are much larger and producing!
Great job and informative! Those were some big peaches.
I have a 3-year-old tree and might be getting my first home-grown peaches this year. Thanks for the tip on looking up the date to help predict when to harvest. I did that and found my state's leading college says to expect peaches on July 14 for my tree variety. I am excited and will ask my wife to get ready to cook peach pies! :-)
Do you know what the root stock might be for grafted peach trees?
@GLHeilig Aw, sorry I could read what you typed. Well, sometimes I get that error if I exceed the "characters remaining" count. You may have exceeded the limit on the number of characters. Youtube should be more specific in their error messages. Thanks for trying to respond.
@GLHeilig That was very specific... thanks.. I checked a few you listed and was surprised they are other peach varieties. I guess I expected something more exotic. I see the Lovell is another peach tree and just had its genome sequenced, to perhaps increase the sugar content of its peaches.
@daniellecopeland I am happy to be of serivce. If there are any other topics you are interested in please let me know and I will try to make them. For other videos, search Gary Heilig on you Tube.

What can I do to protect my crop?

@field16 Should have said "sorry I could NOT read what you typed."

@field16 I will try one more time.
In Michigan, recommended rootstock are: Bailey, Lovell, Halford,
Chui Lum Tao, or Tennessee Natural Avoid:
Nemaguard, Siberian, Citation
Performing well so far in testing, Guardian Dwarfing rootstock:
Pumiselect trees will be very small on sandy soils
Check with your local Cooperative Extension for suggestions for your area.
