A search on "peach meadows" "high density peach plantings" or "peach cuttings" leads to a number of abstracts of papers presented at several symposia, such as ISHS Acta Horticulturae 173: International Conference on Peach Growing

These orchards are planted with 10,000 trees per hectare (4000 per acre), and using rooted cuttings is far cheaper than using grafted trees. Rooting the cuttings in situ produces trees that can tolerate drought better than transplanted ones.

Countries that have done this: Brazil, Italy, and somewhere in the mid-East.
