How high are the power lines? Peach trees do not get all that tall --
less than 20 feet. When I lived in Texas and had a bunch of peach
trees, I *think* they topped out about 12 feet.

not to mention, most trees can be trimed to avoid the lines. the
power company will probably even do it for you.

On the other hand, how tall do you want a fruit tree to get? prune it
yourself. I wish someone had done that with the apple tree I
inheritaed with the house... sucker is 30 feet tall, and I lose most
of the fruit due to not able to reach it.

while we are talking about it... anyone know how to prune an apple
tree?
