I had more photos after cutting into the peaches and you had questions so I've created a follow-up post today. <br /><br />I hope I've answered every question in it... if not... just ask again. I'll try not to miss it again. <br /><br />Planting fruit trees is truly "branching out" for me into unknown territory.
