Sometimes, as is the case of peach and plum trees, which are often dwarfed, the plants are thrown into a flowering states, and then, as they flower freely year after year, they have little inclination to make vigorous growth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you start with a great peach, there's nothing you're ever going to do that's going to make it any better than when it comes off the tree. In 1970, that was a revolution.
The ripest peach is highest on the tree.
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
I always figure I have this tree and there's always some green fruit that's not ready to pick or blossoms that are ready to flower; there are always some ready to drop off too.
I am not disposed to complain that I have planted and others have gathered the fruits.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
Wild flowers grow where they will.
By the fruits which it bears is the tree known.
Too late for fruit, too soon for flowers.
