Peach Blossom

Our peach is full of beautiful blossom as it is every year but we never seem to get any fruit. I wonder if perhaps our native pollinators don’t like the blossom because it not a native tree.

Or is it possible that it is not self-pollinating or only partially self-pollinating. Maybe it would like a friend? Also, how old is it? I think they don’t usually give fruit till they are 3 or 4 years old.

hmm, I don't know the details either, but Joanne makes. good point. Maybe research if it needs a counter partner.

Love the colours with this shot- the pink blossoms, the blue sky, the various greens! Such a beautiful spring capture, Sue! (I know nothing about gardening, so I won't even attempt to give an explanation for the lack of fruit). Fav for your photo, though :)
