I posted several pictures of it on my blog last year (http://bit.ly/z18aQd). I ordered another online, but was very disappointed that it has purple leaves instead of green. I really like the contrast in color between the deep pink and the emerging green leaves. It produced one small peach last year. Do you think I could use the fruit to make my own "gift from the sky"? =)<br /><br />I ran across the weeping variety this weekend at a local plant store and got one for $35. It is about six feet tall and very slender. I have photos of it here: http://bit.ly/yRzdrYBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451973799064956271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-87089543726815707882011-04-15T19:44:40.348-05:002011-04-15T19:44:40.348-05:00oh, my! what i would give to pull up to my home an...oh, my! what i would give to pull up to my home and see such a stunning and fabulous tree awaiting me! xoox, tracieFishtail Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490056923743934726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-46084583736036998622011-04-15T15:18:30.424-05:002011-04-15T15:18:30.424-05:00This particular specimen was own root...at least I...This particular specimen was own root...at least I can't/couldn't see the graft above the soil level when I planted it.

It seems I saw quite a few on the stillwater campus, and if I remember right it had a problem with curl. But the blooms were well done. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, and I'm with you when it comes to smell. It has to knock me down too to smell anything.greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.com
