hi, my name is maggie and i am new to the site, i've got a question about my peach tree and weeping cherry tree. i have had both for about three years and neither one has bloomed or produced fruit i fertilize and keep watered and there is no disease on either both leaf out great, i have a peach tree in the same area and it has produced a bumper crop of peaches in the time i've had these two. any help would be appreciated.

Hi Maggie, could you give us a little more info about the immediate environment of the two trees i.e. other trees/plants planted beside the trees and the distance between them? Is the peach tree that is producing older than the peach tree that is not producing? It could be that the failing trees are competing for resources.

they both have plenty of room,full sun i fertilize with worm castings and surround with compost covered with mulch, i make sure they have at least 1 inch water per week. there is no spots on leaves or discoloration on leaves or trunk, roots have not been disturbed. possibility that since my soil is slightly alkaline would this have anything to do with it?thanks maggie
