Do you know the chill hours on your peach? Mine is 400. Last winter


I don't remember, but it made sense for Austin when we got them.

we finally had at least or close to temps below 45 for 400 hours.
Fruit trees, particularly peaches will show beautiful flowers, but if
the chill hours aren't there the blossoms abort the fruit along with
them when they fall off.


I didn't mean to say the trees do not produce fruit. They do. We just
don't get to eat any because they rot.
