i would like to know more about peaches and seeds. I had thought they were like a lot of citrus that can be grown from seed (
Grow Free Fruit Trees )and anyway rootstock should be used for disease resistance.
My big problem with peaches and nectarines are borers. In the coming years I may try to graft onto chickasaw plum since they are resistant to just about anything.
