I’ve got a Loring Peach Tree I planted in the early spring this year. To my surprise, it produced a dozen or so peaches during the summer. Right now, it’s laid over at a 90 degree angle from the ice - I hope this tree makes it.

get out there and break the ice off. The leaves are carrying the major load of weight and the tree is going into winter dormancy. It won't hurt to loose the leaves now.That’s what I’m concerned about.
We sold ours a couple weeks ago on video and set tomorrow as the delivery date. Kinda hard to change what’s done.We were going to send our calves this weekend but this rain and ice will see they get held over at least another week or so.

I have a 250,000 btu diesel heater I am seriously thinking of taking it to the front yard and fire it up and point it at the tree. It should melt that ice in 5 or 10 minutes lol.Broke the ice off with a rake but lost a bunch of leaves in the process. The tree is upright now - fingers crossed.
