I grow many fruit tree: asian pear, apples, peach and nectarine. This Peach tree out grew and seem impervious to the insects and disease that are rampant on the apple trees.

What a tree!
Reviewed By: Linda Newton (Hawesville, KY)
I ordered this peach tree on sale early in the spring, and when it arrived we were having monsoon season, so I placed it in a bucket of water in the garage until planting. This little tree had TWO blooms while in the bucket and actually developed one peach. Unfortunately, a later storm knocked it off after planting, but we were amazed at the health and productivity of this litle tree. I had never heard of a tree setting fruit the first year !

First Peach tree
Reviewed By: Barbara Betts (Unity, NH)
This tree replaced one that died in the first year. It is now 3 yrs old and doing beautifully. I've got three peaches that are small but healthy and well formed. Thanks for replacing the other one.
