I copied over the topic of another thread into topic descriptions.

I have a flory now and in it's second year it has been effected in a few leaves with peach leaf curl. Since it's not that bad I'm still recommending it and because this year it's produced four. Last year had about twenty. All four this year were still small as seen comparable to a golf ball.

Seeing is believing so one old link and one current image:

Slugs live inside the stump as evidenced by the lower-right cropped image of eaten away flesh. This had occurred on the night of our late summer precious rains.

Another note of possible interest are the leftward growing sections of the rootstock 'nemaguard', which is also peach but it attracts the dreaded PLC so much more than the Flory peach above. I think leaving the nemaguard branch intact helps me control the top growth of the mini-flory top, but it's also a great biometric tool for me to best judge how often and when it's important to get 20 gallon trash bag onto it (upside-down of course).
