[nafex] Alan queries: Re: nafex Digest, Vol 173, Issue 14

Alan queries:

So Fluffy, it sounds like a valuable tree- why are you done with it?

My reply:

We normally get our first hard frost/freeze by Oct 15th, I think I have only gotten 2-3 harvests in the 20 some years I have grown it. It is simply too late here. I might graft it to Krystk 1 (nothing I have read so far says that peach was found to be incomparable, though circa 2002-2005 it seems there were open concerns; however I may not have read far enough yet.) and plant it against my south facing brick wall. The peach I have there now (Belle of Georgia - so yummy)seems 3 weeks ahead of its clone parent.

If you want to try it, I'll see if it has broke yet or can hard prune it to push wood for you for next year.

Nice to hear from you Alan.

Your friend,

fluffy
