Is this a seedling or a sucker?
« on: March 22, 2016, 08:24:49 PM »
I looking a peach blossoms last week and I noticed this.  Sorry for the bad pic but I refuse to get a smarter phone when my blackberry gets the job done.  I planted some type of peach maybe 5-10 years ago and I thought it died.  It was some type of yellow skinned small peach(no red at all).  It ripen about the end of June.  I  piled up a bunch of farm implements over here and it got overgrown.  It bloomed and now has fruit on it.  The original tree also bloomed but not as vigorously. The original, I think, is the curvy one.   I thought it was interesting.  Any thoughts?

I'd say it's probably a sucker off the original tree. Prunus species seem to like to sucker out.

If its below the graft, its rootstock.

Oh, I from the looks of the picture,  I dont think your crackberry is getting it done, just sayin'....   ;)

Thanks.  It'll be interesting to see how the fruit is.  At least, if not good, then I have rootstock to graft to.
