Default Re: Peach prune!

It doesn't have to be you can train a peach to grow onto a trellis or support structure between the tree and the house...this way any branches growing towards the house would be removed, or redirected to grow along the plane of the support structure. like espalier but slightly off the wall, rather than pressed against it. There's many references on the internet as to how to espalier fruit trees your current location of the peach would work just fine by doing that.
