We also live in
Vermont (Zone 4, close to 5) and we loose peach trees regularly, while the
others live on and do well. It could very well be the soil health (they do not
like wet feet) or lack of nutriention ). We lost 3 this year, 2 intrepids and 1
Wisconsin Balmer (all three were on St Julian Rootstock) , but we still have 2
intrepids, 6 Balmers, 1 Ranger, 1 Hardired, 1 Georgia Belle, 4 Polly's, and
numerious reliance seedlings which made it with no problems (few flowers though,
it got to 21 below last winter). We plant peaches every year to make up for the
losses, last years harvest was tremendous (broken branch type) so it might have
weakened some of them. So don't give up just because you lost a few
trees.
On another note, I
ordered some budwoood from Grin and mistakenly ordered "Ouishi Nakate" japanse
plum. Does anyone know about this variety?
THanks,
Eric
