There is one peach tree in the garden. This year it produced about 30 quality fruit. A tree ripened peach is a real pleasure to eat. My view is this is the only way to eat peaches if at all possible. This tree was planted in May of 2008, purchased in a pot from a supplier.

Wow Durgan,I love the look of that tree.Beautiful peaches,I bet they taste amazing.I am close to Woodstock,do you think that tree would be alright to grow here? I know I am not far from Brantford,but being a little more north than you are,I don't know if it would survive! Thanks for any info.

I have seen peach trees thriving outside of London. I love this little tree. I do give it a five gallon pail of water periodically, and mulch around the roots. In your case it is worth a try growing the tree. It takes little room.

Michigan has a much varied climate. You may just be outside the appropriate conditions.

I was thinking that you had to have two peach trees beside each other to help pollinate or something I was told. Maybe it was a different tree I am thinking about.

I also have a redhaven - got 15 peaches on my second year tree. Deelish. Made peach jam. This tree seems to be thriving. It's a dwarf and will get 8-10' high and wide. Perfect for my yard.

We don't see many peach trees in our vicinity, and the reason must be that they don't necessarily grow well. If you have a nice area it is probably worth a chance. During the season one has to go closer to Lake Ontario to buy peaches. There are non around Simcoe and vicinity. Take a chance, well worth it if they thrive. Pears will do well in our areas.
