Grow Larger Peaches

A commercial peach grower once told me the biggest mistake home peach growers make: they don't kill enough peaches.

Thats true you have to remove some or they will be small !!My aunt had plum trees and with plum trees the kind that have small plums you don't have to thin them.I remember her trees were so loaded that she had boards and sticks post whatever she could use to hold the limbs from being on the ground or breaking!

Very good advice, I agree 100%, thinning a heavy crop os the way to get better quality fruit and avoid broken branches.

This is what I do with my apples and pears. The truth about thinning for a better crop can readily be shown to doubters by a practical experiment-thin half the tree and leave the other half to itself to see what happens. An important lesson.
