A peach tree shedding tears - that's quite a poetic way to put it. But actually, a peach tree crying is just the tree developing gummosis. In fact, peach gummosis is a disease that commonly affects peach trees. But since it's said here that it can bring farmers extra income, I think what's meant is selling the peach gum. Let's talk about this issue here.

1. Peach gummosis

Peach growers all know that gummosis is a disease that commonly affects peach trees. Peach gummosis is actually very harmful to peach trees; if not treated in time, it can very easily cause the branches and trunk of the peach tree to wither and die, the fruit to become infected, and the growth of the peach tree to be affected.

So from this perspective, peach gummosis not only fails to bring growers any income, but instead causes serious losses to the orchard.

2. Can peach gum be sold for money?

As mentioned above, peach gummosis can seriously affect the yield of peach trees and cause losses to the orchard. But if growers can change their sales approach, they might discover a new business opportunity. In fact, peach gum is not unfamiliar to women who pay more attention to health and wellness. Because peach gum is relatively mild, long-term consumption can nourish and beautify.

The market for peach gum is still quite promising at present, mainly because people's pursuit of a healthy life is growing higher and higher, and many nourishing products now sell quite well. Of course, promotion is also indispensable. Currently, peach gum of ordinary quality on the market costs thirty or forty yuan per jin, and better-quality peach gum costs several hundred yuan per jin - this is naturally a great business opportunity.

Many people have now seen this business opportunity, and some will go specially to peach orchards to buy up peach gum. But growers should know that gummosis is not a good thing for peach trees; it not only seriously affects the yield of the peach trees, but in severe cases also speeds up the aging and death of the trees.

There are also some farmers who specifically buy peach trees that are prone to gummosis from peach sapling vendors, but later find that no one will buy the gum. These are actually scams thought up by unscrupulous vendors who have sized up the psychology of farmers. So farmers still need to stay clear-headed and not be deceived.
