Howdy! I am in S. Texas where we can go from years long drought to almost swamp in no time flat. The good news is my soils underneath are decent for growing: 18" of sand on top of a red sandy clay. The bad news is my property is located in a zone where there is hardly any groundwater, if you can even find it. Despite all this, I still want a peach orchard, and I am wondering if anyone has had experience using Native Peach as Rootstock? It seems to me it would be more hardy, as these guys will grow randomly in the pasture. It may also be dwarfing, as they usually top out around 10' tall. The only drawback I see is that it will be impossible to hold back water, as I am pretty sure they have a tap root, otherwise they wouldn't be able to survive the droughts... Has anyone had experience?
