An old peach tree

Not far from my home there is an old peach tree that seems to have been around quite a while.  I know the grower is an organic grower and I have seen the tree with many bare branches which get pruned off.  However, this tree seems to be capable of sprouting from the base of the trunk and rejuvenating itself.  I love the height of this tree though its width obviously takes up space.  There are obviously damaged peaches but also some very nice ones.  I should check to see how the ripening process is coming along.  These photos were taken about 2 weeks ago.

Have you tasted them? Maybe you can get permission to get a bud stick if they're good and make yourself a successful peach tree, which here on the wet side, is no small feat.

Sounds like possibly good propagation material. If the fruit is good I'd be interested in just taking the pits and growing them out.

Have you ever talked to the owner of the tree about it?
