This is the peach curl resistant peach that I grew from seed a number of years ago, progeny from Oregon Curl Free. It's a good peach and on the seed grown tree there has never been significant leaf curl. It's the most resistant tree that I have grown so far, out of many varieties marketed for disease resistance. I labeled this peach "Sunny Day" so that I would have something to call it.
Last Spring I tried to whip/tongue graft scion onto Lovell rootstock, didn't take. So I bud grafted onto the same rootstocks during the summer. They took, but one was lost in hot weather. That left this one.
It's tiny, but I think the bud is still alive. It's a little greener in person than in this photo. I pruned off the rest of the baby tree, above the bud. Now it must grow from this bud or not at all.
