    Yes if treated for peach leaf curl

It shipped to me in a timely manner and got to me in good shape. I put it in a nice pot for now and it’s starting to bud.

So far, so good, asked me again in one year. Because this was a bear root plant, I will not know how good the product is until after it produces fruit next year. The service was good. It arrived two days before arrival day.
And the customer service was excellent. I had to email them a question about putting my bare root tree in a container, and they answered me with a very competent answer. So far I love this company.

Perfect fruit tree!

It arrived in a very good condition. It's larger than what I expected. It looks like it's a 3 years old tree. The truck is very strong and there are lots of branches. I planted it in a container right away and look forward to seeing the blossoms soon.
