Dayna, do you want to try growing peaches?
I did my first ever trimming of the young peach tree I got from Puna Honwanji sale & have started some cuttings...they seem to be taking...if they do take you can have them...
My trimming was not "textbook" of 4 lateral branches (see what you learn living here! the only fruit I have ever had prior were acorns & a very few tomatoes) as the dog snapped the top off the tree when it was newly planted... so it starts with a low fork...have no idea how that will effect the peach production of the tree I have...or if there will ever be peaches on it, but it was blossoming like crazy when I trimmed it!
