loz loz Big Trouble Garden Helper Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 40456 Loc: Beautiful Western Maryland...z...	I have 3 peach trees in my yard......from my dads trees across the street...he's always finding new peach trees growing around the yard and I've been taking them off his hands....the tallest is only about 4 foot though so they have a few more years to grow yet. Testy trees, dad has had several totally die from frosts hitting them in the spring. _________________________ for Cindy to get better!!!!!

It says it is entirely self fertile.. so I wouldn't have to mess with different varieties.. I know nothing about peach trees.. as far as what is a good kind to get.. anyone have any suggestions as far as varieties that are better than others?? Thanks! _________________________

peppereater peppereater Dream Gardener Registered: 04/23/05 Posts: 2453 Loc: norman, ok	Pinkhorse, look for a few more nursery listings online for Gala apples and see what they say about pollinators. It may be that they consider Golden Delicious the best pollinator, but there are probably others almost as good. ALL peaches are self-fertile, so go with what sounds good to you. Elberta is probably the most popular, and I can say that it's fantastic. Red Haven is excellent. I've seen both of these at Lowe's and Wal-Mart in past years. Buy them before they begin to blossom or leaf out for best transplanting. Dwarf fruit trees are more productive for their size, and tend to fruit within a year or 2 from planting. Semi-dwarf are preferred over standard. _________________________ Dave

Pinkhorseofcourse Pinkhorseofcourse Wild Willow Great Gardener Registered: 04/17/06 Posts: 692 Loc: Rolling Hills of SE Ohio	Ok, thanks Dave!! I will probably go with the Elberta Peaches if I can find them.. you said you have seen them at Wal-Mart and Lowe's.. that is good, cause I have both locally. When is a good time to get them?? I don't want to wait until they are all picked over.. but it is snowing tons here right now.. so not a good time to plant. _________________________

emdeGardener2 emdeGardener2 Great Gardener Registered: 02/22/08 Posts: 942 Loc: Merced County,California	Nothing will.You can only pollinate plants of the seame species e.g. winter squash & summer squash will cross pollinate each other. _________________________ Growing a vegetable garden is worth it!

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Gardening Pro Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 9022 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Pinkhourse; we got our fruit trees from Stark bros--I tell you this because that is the only place I have ever found the lodi apple that I loved so much. and I have seen other 'lodi' apples for sale in the area and i was so happy to see them, but when I got them home they were not the apple I had grown.--so I am guessing tht starks was/is a bit different. but from them, it was a wonderful apple. 1)we had an Elberta queen peach out at the farm--- 2)and we also had a Reliance peach ---(my peach trees didn't do so very well--it is too cold here for them I guess.--but the Elberta queen made a wonderful pie as well. 3) a Jon-a-red apple--it made very good pies. 4) a Lodi --it made the very best applesauce, but don't wait for the apples to turn 'yellow' --when they are that ripe they are not even good eating apples. we had 2 pear trees too but I cannot find the papers for them, so sorry I cannot help you there. _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!
