were we lucky? ours were viable more like 15 and then the tree split in half. we had so many on that one damn tree we just gave them away.

    Yeah typically backyard trees can infact produce for much longer, I don't know why. At one point I was interested in having a peach orchard... then I looked into it. Quickly changed my mind.

    @HugeNerd@lemmy.ca this ⬆ is how random people can keep 420000 peach trees going.

    yeah. ours probably would've kept producing had she not split in half. we brought our arborist neighbor (best kind of neighbor to have) over and he wept with us because our tree was his tree's pollenation buddy. spouse if you will.
