How long should peach blossom last?
« on: March 24, 2014, 21:36 »
I planted a peach tree at the north end of my pt last year. It started to flower a couple of weeks ago. We had a few warm days and i left the doors open during the day to let pollinators in for a furtle.

The blossom has gone brown in places and i'm wondering if they just don't last that long or has it got frosted.

If its frost, is all lost?

Our's are outside here and buds only just broken, but I should imagine they don't last long. Our apricot has only been in blossom a week and it looks as if it's snowing with every breath of wind. We haven't had any frost over here, I don't think you have either have you?

As Tosca says, they do not last that long. About half a month you say, could be it. Hopefully, there is nothing wrong with them.

In the poly, more like some rot would spring into mind than frost, were anything wrong.
