No idea I'll have to see if I can find the old thread sweetpea but it was bought as a nectarine and when it first fruited I thought they shouldn't be furry? on close inspection the grafted nectarine had failed and the stock which is usually a fast growing peach variety had grown through and taken over, it turned out to be a very fruitful peach which did get leaf curl but shook it off and the leaves turned back to normal later in the season and it produced a large crop of peaches, T&M were interested in it and took cuttings to trial, I never heard if the trials went ok but after a year or so T&M announced a new peach variety for sale which was partially resistant to leaf curl....of course this was nothing to do with my variety

This was a post in 2012 sweetpeaPeach tree Aug 10, 2012 at 7:41am Quote Edit Post by steve on Aug 10, 2012 at 7:41am I have posted this before somewhere but it is pure luck how I came about getting this brilliant fruiter, I bought it as a nectarine 'Fantasia' but the graft had failed and the stock had taken over, I didn't notice this until the first fruits which were furry not shiney ;D So I suppose it was like growing one from a stone, pot luck on what you get, added to this it seems to shrug off peach leaf curl after the first few leaves which I take off Would be a good one for some big company to graft and supply....are you listening out there ;D

I do remember all this story. You have the peach planted in a perfect spot obviously. Not to keep you posted on the progress of the cuttings is plain rude and payment would be welcome. You could still do this yourself or with professional help. I don’t know what peaches are grafted on to.

There are named rootstocks in America that have resistance to certain nematodes in those areas but usually it is just a peach seedling which is used as rootstock which is what this tree is anyway, so wouldn't rooted cuttings be the same as the tree as it is not grafted? thinking about this makes my brain hurt
