? ABOUT GROWING A PEACH TREE FROM SEED

Wake Forest, NC(Zone 7b)

I am getting blossoms on the 3 year old seedling peach. They opened just before the 27 deg. night so I rigged a little frame and put a "tent" over it with a 100 W light bulb under the tent. The blossoms survived the 27 deg and now, today, the tent had to go back to protect against 3 successive nights of 32 degrees starting tonight.

I also had, for the first time in 8 years, a full bloom on the now large methly plum tree. Of course I couldn't even begin to tent it. Maybe next year the weather will occur more reasonably.

Apricots are blooming in Canon City, Colorado; and here in Pueblo West my Shiro plum is close to blooming.
It was only 5-10 degrees earlier this week - I don't think we will be having any Apricots this year.
