CULTURAL HINTS FOR FLOWERING 
PEACHES 
Flowering peaches produce their best bloom on 
new wood. Heavy pruning when trees are in bloom 
or within a week or two after blooming encourages 
growth of new wood and splendid future blooms. 
“Curly leaf" of flowering peaches is easily avoid- 
ed by thoroughly spraying with Bordo mixture just 
as the flower buds swell and before showing color.
