I have this lovely Peach Tree, at least to Look at. I think it is about 7yo, forgot when I planted it. 4 years ago I got no fruit, maybe late frost. 3 years ago I got about 15 gorgeous and delicious peaches. 2 years ago, there were about the same amount of fruit, some teenagers were wandering the neighborhood dumping over garbage cans looking for receipts with credit card #'s, or so the police report said. I'm sure that they also stole my fruit. I was looking at it, thinking to harvest "tomorrow." VERY NEXT day, ALL were gone, and all critters that eat them would have left stones and evidence. There was none.
LAST year 2019, No fruit.
This year, I saw 1 blossom.
I planted this tree north of a row of tall pine trees, but I have raised their crowns and it gets plenty of sun throughout the day.
What gives? Any ideas? I'm thinking of treating this tree to my chainsaw and starting over. If I wanted an understory tree there, they are other options. It was a box store buy.
I doubt it is deer. A deer would have to jump several fences and would feel trapped there. Also, my dogs would be barking furiously. Eva, I think, has chased a deer before, but not as near the street as this tree lives.
