Ultra Dwarf Babcock Peach Tree

[ninnymary]

My Babcock ultra dwarf is doing so well! Peaches look like they will be small but that's ok. I've noticed that they all seem to be in the center of the tree. The rest of the branches are not very thick. Come summer should I just prune the tips of the branches since they are thin and I don't think can support the fruit? I did thin the peaches out in case you're wondering.

Wow that is a lot of peaches, watch out for squirrels I learned the hard way.

What a little beauty!
Don't prune. The branches will thicken with age, just like the rest of us. You may need to pick the fruit or support the branches if they are going to break under the weight.

Haha, yeah I'm like that little peach tree. The branches are thick in the middle (my torso) and skinny at the ends (my arms and legs).
