My peach tree in a whiskey barrel is now on its second season,30 in tall and so loaded with fruit I had to prop up the branches with stakes. I thinned a lot, but should have thinned more. Some fruit got pushed off in the last stages of sizing. Next year I will go for one peach every 4-5 inches. So far I've had peach crisp, peach salsa, peach daiquiri, smoothies and froze some for later.

I read that it is a dwarf variety. What are you feeding it on? Steroids?
Do the peaches have lots of flavour?
