That happened to our “wild” peach tree some years ago. This time of year it was full of blooms. It snowed that year. Come summer it was FULL of tiny peaches. We were getting ready to pick as many as possible with help of some friends. We had a huge wind storm and blew all but a few of the peaches off the tree. We had some come over and pick as many peaches as possible off the ground, we did the same, but we had so many split/bug filled peaches left, we shoveled them up and dumped them in the bully. Guess what?
Yep, there are not some small trees in the gully. Oh well.

Haha, sometimes you catch a break and don't even know it at the time. Hope they are producers.

33.2 right now, have no experience coming that close but there's sure a good bloom crop, wouldn't be then end of the world if we lost them of course, but I sure do like good peaches.

But would you know a good peach without ever having eaten a bad one? Picked up a couple at the store Saturday, didn't have high hopes but they sure looked good. Bit into one....nothing. No juice and just a bare hint of peach flavor. Should have known but desire beat out experience.
