It makes sense to have them grow smaller--the ones that get really big make it impossible to pick so you just have to wait for the fruit to fall and then beat the dog to it.<br /><br />Glad you got to play in a little cow manure!Desert Survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620590624490393921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118186078951689196.post-12111420434284701842009-04-22T16:31:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:31:00.000-04:00I remember growing up having problems with feral k...I remember growing up having problems with feral kids eating apples off our tree - and that tree was in the far back corner of our property!

You may have some problem...DIYer & DIYerette -<br /><br />You may have some problems with the trees - at least the peach tree. My neighbor has a peach tree and it requires lots of room to spread its limbs. Also, if it takes hold and is a good producer, you will need to hit your wood shop to build braces to support the branches and prevent them from breaking due to an abundant harvest. A watchful eye is also required as well as both furry thieves and other univited guests love to make off with the crop. However, there is nothing like fresh peaches :~)<br /><br /><br />good luck!!<br /><br />gutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
