A New Peach Tree

This peach tree is bearing fruit for the first time. It grew from a seed put into the compost. You can see it now several years old growing near the roses and grape arbor. It is now August first, and the fruit is almost ripe. The fruit looks perfect. One dropped off the tree today so I tried it- a white freestone peach, not too tart. Although not fully ripe, it was so good that I ate all of it. I am hoping for excellent flavor when fully ripe. The tree has not been sprayed with any chemicals, and there is no sign of peach leaf curl. There were a few leaves that had curled early in the spring which I removed. This tree has shown less peach curl than a trees like Muir and Indian Free that are also growing in my garden.
