It is with great sadness that I have to report that the old peach tree is down…. I knew this time will come, even with the additional support and trimming I have given it, in an effort to save it and give it a few more years - but it happened…. A wind came through and shifted the weight of the tree and likely pushed it off the 2x6 I had it propped on.
This is as good time and reason to plant more fruit trees and work towards the Gale Orchard concept I have always had…
The trunk looks like it has been mostly dried out for a long time - but there must have been a section that wasn’t as the tree did survive as is, for a couple years or so.
