Wow!, Thanks Ed!
You mean if you receive a stick mebbe 3/8ths diameter from a nursery, in the
following season you'll possibly see fruit setting from yearwood????
If so... Lordy, that's swell!
An even dumber question follows...
So Stark bros claim to dwarf peaches would be? Now ya lost me? So these are
short lived trees?
Ed can you kill a standard peach by cutting it back too much. I don't mean
by hacking it away to nothing but to the main butt or trunk but keep lopping
off the topgrowth and holding a small compact short habit. Will this effect
the mortality in a standard, even if the roots are free to move along 
ordinarily.
Thanks for the wisdom from the reaches of heaven over there. : )

Best wishes,
Gianni
