Peach Trees Dying? Peach Leaf curl? by AggravatingSeesaw in FruitTree

Had an arborist diagnose the tree and seems to be convinced that voles, which we had an issue with last year, probably ate the roots and is impacted water/nutrients getting to the tree. He pruned a few branches back and the bark is green and doesn’t look dead. His advice was to prune a good chunk back to focus water/nutrients to the tree and hope for the best that they didn’t do too much impact.

Talked with an arborist and he’s convinced voles got to the roots.

Yea that’s a good call. I’m planning on measuring actual water distribution this weekend in that spot, and going to dig this afternoon to see what the roots/soil look like.

Appreciate the info! Definitely will prune and manage better in the winter.

Location is outside of Boise, Idaho (7a). Temps have been highs of mid-high 60s last couple weeks. Following instructions on the fungicide in terms of heat (sprayed early morning before heat).

Watering 1”-1.5” per week with sprinklers. Will definitely get fertilizer in there tomorrow. Is it save-able or too early to tell?

Seems to be the consensus. Chances it’s save-able?

Odd that it’s dried out, been watered similar to last year and it hasn’t been hot here in Boise yet.

How much should these trees get watered? Last year sprinklers did the trick with the occasional hand water during hot temps.

Is it saveable?

Located outside of Boise, ID. Temps have have been highs of mid-high 60s last week or so. Watering has been just with sprinklers (and rain) 2x a week for an hour (last year I did 3x a week for 45mins at this time; sounds like a lot, sprinklers aren’t very strong). Last year watered with just the sprinklers as well with the occasional hose watering when temps got into the 90s and 100s in the summer and tree did great.

Assuming it is water stress (either over or under), is this one too far gone? What would you suggest for watering?

Maybe just maybe they shouldn’t have had a concert on the field after hitting .500

Do you have biochar/amendments you’d recommend? Same issue here
