Remember -- I'm a fan of soft fruit -- not something that crunches.<br /><br />Jon,<br /><br />I have a couple of friends who left California for the Peach State. They love it there. They claim they'll never come back. Something about those Georgia girls I guess. As for varieties? I would check with the wholesaler in your area. Our here -- Dave Wilson Nursery is our wholesaler -- and they supply fruit tree stock (thousands of trees) to all stores (www.davewilson.com). My advice? Check with them to find out who the wholesaler is in your area -- and they'll KNOW what does well in your area. From what I understand is most peaches are self-pollinating. You don't need two. But I love them so much that I want five! Best time to plant is bare root season in late January/February. That's when the new stock gets delivered to your nurseries.<br /><br />Garry,<br /><br />I hear you on nectarines. That's my second favorite stone fruit. I have three planted out in the front yard -- including that white nectarine that you crave. All three are doing extraordinarily well -- and I may let them produce next season (the 2nd). I know, I know. You're supposed to wait for three years. Not for me Garry. I'm impatient. BTW -- bees are doing extraordinarily well...Bill Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816389236294882066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-87923229414553181482010-09-17T07:41:58.762-07:002010-09-17T07:41:58.762-07:00bill -

(pretty fond of cherries too, but thats a bit off topic)<br /><br />garryGarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726499603894954026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-86300235465265525032010-09-17T04:34:54.622-07:002010-09-17T04:34:54.622-07:00Maybe you should be dreaming of Jeannie, standing ...Maybe you should be dreaming of Jeannie, standing there handing you a peach whenever you want one! <br /><br />I, too, share your love of peaches, and I live in Georgia, the "Peach State". I have been thinking of planting some trees for a while now. I should do it this Fall. <br /><br />What variety should I plant and how many trees? Don't they need to be in pairs to pollinate?<br /><br />Jon (http://expensive tomato.com)Jon Ezrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120803392010575924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-40898437279899392432010-09-16T18:21:10.679-07:002010-09-16T18:21:10.679-07:00It's Asian Pear season now.
