Weeping Peach Trees
Peach Blossom
Peach trees are originally from China and thought to have made their way to the Mediterranean by way of the Silk Road. Who knows how they got to Texas.
This is a pair of weeping peach trees that I got from a friend that had to leave all of her plants behind when she moved. The pair is twisted together and they make a beautiful showing in the spring.
These are some pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. The blooms have already faded and the friut is starting to set.
The trees are only about four (five?) years old and we have yet to have edible peaches from them. That may be our fault though. Our two week trip in the summer tends to mess with things in our garden when it gets no water except what falls from the sky. Maybe this year there will be peaches.
