New peach trees

[tomatokate]

My neighbor had 6 peach tree saplings (the biggest is 5ft. high, and the smallest is about 2.5ft. high) and gave them to me last summer. 5 of them survived, and I'm wondering whether they'll actually make fruit. I mean, they're blossoming and everything, but they're kinda young... :/

Peach trees usually produce a first fruit at about 4-5 years old. They will blossom earlier before they begin to set fruit. Could be they are just practicing for when they are ready to set fruit. Enjoy the blossoms!

Yeah, don't expect fruit for a couple more years. They are still setting strong roots for ya. You'll see blooms anyways. I was told, if you see fruit developing to pull it so it will consentrate on root development first and foremost. Also not to prune the first year, but wait until the second year.
