8 months after collection - first flowers!

[kvan64]

This is one of the 4 peaches that I collected 8 months ago. I has the least flowers but is one of my favourite peaches. I just repotted a few weeks ago and will do some carving later on.

Lovely movement in the trunk. When it develops more foliage it will be lovely. Nice to see it so keen to flower. Good sign that spring is here.... finally.

Spring is here indeed Mel. It was 25 degrees C today.

Great spread of major roots and an enviable trunk line! Not sure if it's an issue where you are, but I had two peach trees nearly killed by curly leaf a couple years back. Application of a copper based solution was the only thing which saved them from a repeat bout the following year. Probably too late for that this year as the buds have already opened in yours. However, I was told that watering in a strong tea can help.... can't vouch for this and am only trying it this year for the first time with the various stone fruit species. Good luck!

Thanks for the information Mak. I guess it's fine here as I collected these locally. Also this species is the supper tough and strong one that got used as the rootstock for commercial stone fruit trees.
Cheers,
