Pruning Peach Trees
Pruning peach trees is a hard,
labor-intensive cultural practice that
is easy to avoid However if peach
trees are left unpnmed the result is
weak trees, overproduction,
increased disease, and most
important, short tree life. Most
people I know just will not prune
their peach trees and most say it is
because they don't know how. Well
it is really easy but more important it
is necessaiy for tree health and good
peach production.
Pruning does several things but
most of all it gets the fruit down low
enough to pick! Ptuning opens up a
tree to allow for wind and sunlight to
penetrate the center to prevent
disease and maximize
photosynthesis. Pruning will also
thin out a lot of fruit and so make the
remaining fruit much larger.
Peaches bloom and bear fruit on
second-year wood and so the trees
need to make good growth each
spring and summer to insure a crop
for die next year.
Each winter a large number of
red 18 - 24 inch shoots need to be
present as fruiting wood If the trees
are not pruned annually the volume
of fruiting wood reduces each year
and the fruiting shoots move up
higher. To prune a tree we try to cut
out limbs that are growing straight
up so remove them first Next prune
out the big limbs over thumb size in
the center. Next prone all the limbs
so that they are no taller titan you
holding your loppers over your
head
If you can imagine an upside
down umbrella then you have a
pruned peach tree. It will look funny
till it starts to leaf out then it will
grow. Keep in mind your pruning is
to remove old, gray-colored, slow
growing shoots which are unfruitful.
The idea is to remove 40% of the
tree each year to stimulate new
growth, remove excess buds and
keep peaches in reach.
One last thing to remember is not
to prune too early. Pruning
stimulates bloom and if the tree has
sufficient chilling hours and we get a
warm spell a pruned tree just might
bloom. It is really best to wait
awhile, even until budbreak to prune
unless you just have too many trees
to get the job done quickly.
In a speech to more than 800
faculty and staff at Texas A&M
University's AgriLife Conference in
College Station, Agriculture
Commissioner Todd" Staples
encouraged all Texans to play a part
in preserving our state's multi-billion
dollar agriculture industry and
enhancing rural economic
development.
"The Texas Department of
Agriculture is dedicated to securing
our state's rich heritage of farming
and ranching, and being a national
leader in agricultural production,"
Commissioner Staples said. "First,
we must bridge the gap between
rural and urban Texas, fostering an
understanding that agriculture is not
just a way of life for farmers and
ranchers, but the foundation of life
for all Texans."
Currently Texas leads the nation
in the number of cattle, horses,
goats, sheep and deer. The state also
ranks first in the production of
cotton, wool, mohair and hay. The
Texas agriculture industry employs
nearly two million Texans,
contributing approximately nine
percent of the Gross State Product
Commissioner Staples credited the
unwavering work ethic of Texas
producers for reaching a milestone
in 2007.
y "Agriculture contributed more
than SI00 billion to the Texas
economy in 2007 - a record for our
state's agriculture industry,"
Commissioner Staples said. "All
Texans should be proud of the
dedicated men and women who live
and breathe agriculture daily,
providing food and fiber to feed and
clothe their fellow Texans."
The commissioner called on all
Texans to assist TDA in ensuring the
continued prosperity of agriculture,
and listed five priorities as pathways
to success: Link rural Texas
communities to higher
education/training opportunities to
ensure Texas has a qualified
woikforce; Increase awareness on
tiie role agriculture plays in daily
lives of all Texans; Research and
implement methods to increase
commodities to meet the demands
of food, fiber, feedstock and fuels;
Expand outreach to
farmers/ranchers about marketing
opportunities, and to consumers
about state-grown (GO TEXAN)
products; and Preserve land for
agriculture and protect property
rights.
"Powerful possibilities lie ahead
for Texas agriculture," said
Commissioner Staples. "Challenges
will arise, but with your help, we can
overcome them and preserve one of
our state's leading industries for
generations to come."
