PEACH PITS
Peach pits contain small, minute amounts of cyanide. However, there should
be not problem with the accidental ingestion of a pit, nor is there a problem
if the pit is split and exposed to the fruit.
PEACH--WINTER INJURY
Peach trees are susceptible to extreme cold temperatures and rapid shift
of temperatures (hot to cold to hot). The cambium layer beneath the bark
is easily killed. Trees will leaf out in the spring and then rapidly die.
The crotches of the trees (where limbs intersect each other or the trunk)
are the most susceptible and will ooze sap, giving the impression of borers.
However, the cambial tissue beneath the bark will be a tan to dark brown
instead of a whitish, cream or green color.
Winter injury can't really be prevented.
