Thread Name: BS: Volunteer Peach Tree -- edible?
Subject: RE: BS: Volunteer Peach Tree -- edible?
We planted on of Gurney's "5 in one" grafted stone fruit trees (plums, apriots, nectarines, etc.) 4 years ago and have yet to even see a blossom, let alone a fruit.

I've seen those trees in seed catalogs... always struck me as being a bit gimmicky, frankly...

...like breeding a hairless cat...

Plums, apricots, nectarines, peaches... What's the fifth stone fruit?

If we weren't in a cycle of drought right now, I might be tempted to plant a pit from this tree myself... But Dad's in NY, and I'm in VA, and I have a suspicion that the pit is from a fruit sold at a local orchard up there, and is a species better suited to New York's climes...
