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.
