Title: Re: [NAFEX] Q: coralstar peach

I should have written all of this down, but I believe some of them were from Ruston Reds.

So what variety did the pits come from??

Speaking of peaches, I planted some peach pits 4 years ago in a container. Now I have about 30 trees bearing the most beautiful and good peaches. The remarkable thing is that they are staggered so that about 4 trees are ripe at one time and as those 4 go out four more come in. I am on my third foursome now and have 4 more about ready to pick. Three of the next 4 are grafted varieties, but the seedlings still have several trees to come in much later. It is amazing how easy it was. I used very little pruning just once;last year, and have good sized crops this 4th leaf from planting seeds. It has been a major battle spraying for Japanese beetles. This has been a heavy year for June bugs as well.
