Hi,
i planted a bare root peach tree around the middle of April. It came out of dormancy within a week or two, and started pushing out leaves, and a few new stems. It seemed to be growing quickly and seemed very healthy. But once it got to a certain point, everything seemed to have stopped. I don't think i have seen any new growth, or just growth period in at least a month or so. Is this normal as it is now the summer, and from what i read growth is very slow until it goes dormant in fall? I also noticed some reddish spots on some of the leaves, not sure if that has something to do with it. I have attached a picture of the tree in its current state. Let me know if there is anything that i can do.
FYI i live in NJ, my fruit trees are fertilized and watered accordingly. This is my first year in growing fruit trees and a garden, and for the most part everything is going well.
Thanks in advance!
