I am proud of you! My Loring Peach tree is exactly what I had hoped to receive. My tree looks healthy. The canopy is beautiful. I asked for a Loring peach tree with a canopy approximately 24-30 inches high so I can top the tree. Train it to grow low bearing fruit, so as I age I am not climbing to high. From 22-33 inches there are 8 of 10 branches nicely arched to choose from. I am going to have 5 nicely arched branches growing in different directions to form a really nice canopy. That is what I envisioned, that is what I got. Thank you for fulfilling my wishes. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

My tree arrived Wednesday, April 6th and I planted it per your instruction sheet the following morning in constant rain. Product was everything I expected. Very nice looking tree. It appears to have survived the trip and is showing signs of life!
