The Peach Tree

We planted a Peach Tree about 4 weeks ago in the backyard. It was given to us by a wonderful neighbor who lives down the road. He brought it to us in his wheel-barrow and helped us plant it and gave us great information on how to protect it from bugs and diesease.

We were thrilled when the tree produced many blossoms and then lots of fruit!


Curtis thinned off almost all the fruit. We didn't want our new transplanted tree to stress producing fruit when it should be putting its energy into its new root system. But we didn't have the heart to take off all the fruit. Hopefully we will get a few peaches this year.

Look at all the fruit we thinned!
