Default First juciest, shlushing peach, mmmmm

Howdy folks,
In regards to this message:

(Victor M. Martinez) wrote in message ...
I've seen some dwarf peaches in the nurseries, even bought one once. We planted
it in a pot but despite of efforts it died. We got it more for the "cute"
factor than for actually harvesting peaches from it.


I'll second the above. I tried one, out of a sense of
experimentation. No luck. No one who I have ever talked to that ever
bought a 'dwarf' peach tree has ever told me they had success with
them. I would be certainly happy to revise my opinion if I see
otherwise. I suspect like many plants that have been bred for dwarf
status something was lost along the way interms of hardiness and
production.

take care,
Steve Coyle
