I have a peach tree in my yard-- some years they are awesome, this
year... to the compost pile :( Maybe it is the season's dry / temp that
makes the difference. Really don't have a clue... but I am sure someone
on this list does...
At my last house, had a peach tree that I would have to support with
2X4's every year or the branches would break from all the fruit...
learned how to make jellies... enjoyed them all year long that way..
Hum.. wonder if the tree is still there?
