[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 3974875, member: 50626"] I think this is lots of it! That’s why it’s not the best idea just to go to Lowe’s or tractor supply and buy whatever fruit trees they have. You’re much better off seeking specific varieties that are proven locally. I didn’t grow up in Oklahoma, but my wife did. I’ve been here for 10 years. She remembers her parents growing lots of fruit. There were also well-established orchards pick by the pound type places around here back in the day. About half of our fruit trees are ones that we just bought from places like Lowe’s. Those don’t do very well. The better half are varieties we plucked from the ground as sprouts growing under old heirloom variety established trees on other properties. They are awesome! Two of our peach trees are a white peach variety. It runs on a later schedule. They are later to bud/flower and later to ripen. But that trait in them helps mitigate some of these Oklahoma weather issues. [/QUOTE]
