Any One in the North Have Peach Trees?

Nyboy, you have inspired me to get a Babcock peach tree. I planted it in a container and plan to plant impatients around it. I know it will be more high maintenance there but I have no more room in my yard.

Mary, tt to jackb. He keeps a Bonsai apple tree, and can probably help you with pruning your potted peach.

Mary people claim a peach off the tree taste nothing like one from the market. I had to look up your peach low acid , low chill and high taste !!!

I just hope it grows. The bay area weather is really to cool for stone fruits.

Flowers alone should be worth it.

Agreed. And yes peaches off the tree vs the store are dramatically different. We had 4 of them where we lived. They were well established and planted in the open. Bit of work but the fruit at picking time made up for it.

It isn't the cool temperature that would be a problem. You are also dry and peaches like dry. We often have peach problems here bc we are too wet.

Interesting....my peach problems are due to a lack of fruit trees on the property
