|  Peach advice please Olá. G'day  The little peach tree that I raised 4-5 inches is in bloom, not much mind but it's only small. I am worried because most of the new growth is coming out of the area that was previously below ground level, see pictures: Should I nip this new growth off before it goes too far and will doing this enable more growth over the upper section of the tree? Thanks for any help...............

|  Re: Peach advice please Yeah, cut them off. It looks a little too much out of the ground now but hey, seems to like it. Talk about girdling roots, mate, what are these nurseries selling?

| Re: Peach advice please Gotta agree with Eric - cut them off now. Pull the soil back from the trunk down a few inches and get those girdling roots off right away. While a tree is still young, they tolerate root pruning better than when they are older. |

| Re: Peach advice please What! No after pics, come on, we know you can do it.  Did you cut them girdling roots? Must have had girdling roots since it was tube stock.
