    Hello,

    Last fall, my husband pruned our peach trees and only the scaffold branches are left. They had only been growing leaves for the past few years, no fruits (though we had fruits when they were younger).

    Do you think the trees will grow back? Thanks for your answer.

    Here is a picture so you can get a better idea of what I mean:

    Well, peach doesn’t like pruning much but in the end it has to be done. Fall was a good time to prune and based on your photos, it looks like a callus is forming around the perimeter of the cuts. this is a good sign.

    If I had to do myself, I probably would have done it over 2 years, basically pruning it back less.
