yellowing leaves #938576

Asked July 08, 2026, 4:21 PM EDT

peach and plum tree has leaves turning yellow. peach tree is 2 years old and has much rain into clay soil. The drainage is not good. The same for nearby plum tree. Both are 2 years old and were doing very good until rains hit. Should I use mulch or not. Presently have 2-4 inches of wood chips around tree's. What else can I do for more drainage.

Expert Response

Thanks for the question.  In order for me to provide my best answer, I need some pictures showing the locations of these trees.  I assume you have more than one.

Moreover, I assume these were planted in 2024.  What kind of crop did you get in 2025.

Looking forward to your response.
