Along with my grapes, my peaches are a plenty too!
My peach tree never ceases to amaze me with the number of peaches it has and continues to produce. This is especially true because it has some sort or peach disease\blight, as well as a large hole near the base of it's trunk - both issues having been there since I bought the house some 25 years ago.
Early on with my homeownership I used to spray it with some peach tree elixir but no longer. However, I continue to care for it and prune back it's dead limbs and branches at the end of the season, of which there's typically many, and it seems happy with that and comes back with beautiful pink blossoms each spring!
Many of the ripe fruit fall to the ground where rabbits, woodchucks and deer eagerly devour them, leaving behind peach pits galore beneath the tree.
They're not quite ripe yet but I'm monitoring.
