Does your seedling peach orchard still live in a container?  Are 
these in effect bonsai trees?

I am pleased to think that peach trees will bear in only 4 years.  I 
have peach and apricot trees coming up wherever I have had a compost 
pile - every fall I bottle lots of fruit, and the stones go into the 
compost.  A few years ago I started moving them to a row instead of 
pulling them out.  Maybe next year they'll produce.
