When we were kids, we had lots of land and my Dad bought a whole mess of very expensive hybrid fruit trees. Most took 3-4 years to fruit at least.

Mom, the frugal one, ate one of the peaches off the expensive hybrid tree and decided to plant a second peach tree by simply digging a hole and watering it, since the squirrels (and neighbors) managed to get most of ours.

Dad scoffed at how stupid she was. After all, it's not like trees just grow from seeds.

Mom's peach tree tuned out to be a completely different species (that's the hybrid for you), produced some fruit the first year and every year after that had twice the crop of the hybrid and were much juicier, better tasting peaches, although about 1/3 smaller. A couple of years later, the expensive tree developed some sort of disease and died -- the "seed" tree got the same disease but pulled through.

Even the squirrels liked the new tree better!

Who knows, you may have a gem growing in the woods. Tell Dad to keep an eye on it. When the peaches give a little to the touch, they're ready.
