Peach trees are rather fast growing fruit trees. We have only planted two peach trees, and each were bought "bare root" in bags like rose bushes. We planted these trees in spring of '64, and produced so much fruit and broke the limbs down that caused them to lose that sticky sap and we just cut them down by the third or fourth year. Weatherford, Parker Co., TX is considered the peach capitol of Texas and this is less than 25 miles from me. I would surely ask a good nurseryman 's advice for what to plant in your area. I know we only "dug a hole large enough to spread the roots out and read the directions of the bag. LOL We had taken our 3 young sons to the nursery and each picked out a fruit tree to be theirs. That third tree was an apple tree, and it leafed out a little the first spring, but by summer it was a goner. No more fruit bearing trees for us. We do have a Bradford Pear (fruitless) in our back yard and we awoke to a big cloud of white blossoms just this morning. We saw numerous trees that were completely leafed out as we drove home from nearby shopping yesterday. They just passed the blossom stage by this year. A plea to folks in the OK area south of and east of Tulsa: please tell us when those beautiful pink dogwoods are in their peak. We first saw these visions of beauty last mid April. The Cherokee Heritage Museum at Tahlequah is surrounded by these pink dogwood so make your pilgrimage there at this time if possible and if you have never been. Jerri, have you sold your house and made the move there yet?
