Red Baron Peach No Fruit

8 years ago

I purchased 3 Peach trees last spring. 1-Snow Queen, 1-Red Baron, and 1-Panamint Nectarine. All 3 are in same soil in 30 gallons pots side by side. All bloomed great, all are green and healthy. The Snow Queen has 25 peaches, the Nectarine has 15, and the Red Baron has zero (0). All we’re fertilized and watered the same. All was given the Bayer Advanced Fruit and Vegetable mix in waster after blooming.

Only thing I can figure is the Red Baron tree is 1 foot shorter and may need another year?

thoughts?

How big are the trees? 25 peaches for a tree you have only had for 1 year is a lot, i would recommend thinning. I wouldn't have expected any fruit from trees that had only been planted for 1 year (some exceptions).

I do not know for sure. They were about 6ft tall (in pot) when purchased and now are 7-8 ft tall. The Red Baron does seem to be 1 year behind in height compared to others... pic is spring 18 blooms on Baron.
