    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
