    The peach trees I had growing up didn't need to cross pollinate. But I don't know if there are some varieties that do and some that don't.

    I have had plum trees that did need to cross pollinate. However there are some grafted plum trees that don't need to cross pollinate because the tree is actually two different trees on one trunk. Don't know if they do that for peach trees or if peach trees just naturally self pollinate.

    Here's an update of the Hollohas farm. This is half of it.

    Wow, I really admire your gardening set-up. Where did you get your hoops? Is that section planted in direct sunlight? How often do you water, and do you find soaker hoses to be worth it?

    Oh- I found one little fuzzy green peach hiding among the leaves on my peach tree! So, it doesn't need cross-pollinating; it's just mocking me.

    Are you zoned for agriculture?

    That's awesome man. I envy your setup.
