Best method to prevent peach tree breakage from fruit load
Horticulturist Massey explains that proper pruning and shaping prevent limb breaks. Start with one year growth cut to 18 to 20 inches, form 3–4 top limbs, trim fall growth by one third, remove interior shoots, and maintain even distribution of new wood. This avoids concentration of fruit wood at tips and reduces splits.
