A friend gave me a Cherokee white peach tree and I had one come up from seed (Alberta I think) from trees growing in a neighbor’s
yard. Years later squirrels were planting seed that had cross pollinated from those two trees all over the place. Four more trees, each a little different, but all delicious. This is borderline climate for growing peaches, and really too humid here during fruiting season. Late spring frosts usually get them, but every few years we get
enough to eat, and sometimes even to can a few, They do
bear young, at two or three years old.
With appropriate microbes, minerals and organic matter, there is no need for pesticides or herbicides.
