Peach tree

When I walked by the peach tree yesterday, all the peaches were gone. They were still up last Tuesday. The house is for sale again, someone had apparently mowed the lawn and picked the tree. The peaches are small, their texture is compliant, and they are juicy. The tree is still good looking, even without its fruit. There should be more fruit trees in an urban setting. This little tree produces about 300 peaches. I know this tree well because I planted it and took care of it with stakes and netting for about 7 years. A piece of my son's placenta was buried at the roots, and I was actually walking to meet him when I passed by the tree.
