Why apricot and peach trees are not producing fruit in Northern California?

I have a 10 year old Apricot tree that has not produced fruit in 2 years. It flowers. Leaves start out curl and diseased but turn healthy


I also have a peach tree that produced fruit two years ago but did not fruit last year. It also flowered but leaves started curled and diseased and turned healthy. No fruit at all.





Do I need to spray? I fertilize with fertilizer spikes bought from home depot.

If I were to make an educated guess it would be that your problem is from two factors. The first is due to a lack of %26quot;chilling hours%26quot; during the past several years. Adequate chilling hours are a major requirement for deciduous trees to set a crop. Visit the following site to see how many chilling hours were and are in your area:

The second contributor to your lack of fruit is probably due to the decimated wild honey bee population. Honey bees are the most important pollenizer for deciduous fruit, but due to mite infections have been severely depleted.





These two factors are why I believe you have not had any fruit the past two years.





You can try applying a foilar application of boric acid, this action may also increase your chances of setting fruit.





Usually during the late winter a dormant spray is applied to commercial orchards for pests (San Jose scale, borers, etc) but it sounds like your %26quot;organic%26quot; trees are healthy except for the lack of fruit.
Reply:last year it rained so much so late into spring that the bees weren%26#039;t able to come out and pollinize the blossoms, and also the rain and wind blew the blossoms off of the trees. your peach tree has something called curly leaf, there should be more on the internet about how to deal with that
Reply:its because of global warming
