Mary Jane ™ Peach

Never got a single peach. Total peach leaf curl disease magnet. Frost produced for a few years before succumbing to disease. Oregon curl free still producing peaches after 18 years in a not ideal site

I've had this tree five yrs. and it has produced the last 2 yrs., but this yr. I bagged the fruit in mesh because they are big and beautiful and plentiful. I've had bugs attack it and it is still going unlike a weaker peach tree I got from a local nursery. They are a little hard until they ripen fully. It's growing in a hot dry climate zone 9A Northern CA.

Very susceptible to disease including peach curl. Died after 1 year.

I am in zone 8b, dry farming at 2,000' elevation. Mary Jane is one of my favorite peaches. It waits to flower, which helps with pollination. The fruit tastes like oranges or mangos. It is something different! It has been more resilient to disease compared with other peaches I grow (i.e. it bounces back). The fruits have been constantly small, however - snack size. More people should try this peach.

I live in zone 8a and we had not had rain for awhile. When I received my peach tree the ground was very dry way down. I took the advice from Raintree Nursery, soak the tree roots 24-48 hours, fill the hole and allow to soak into the ground. I repeated these steps twice as I planted the tree. Seems like within days, there was already new growth. Yipee! Now, the waiting begins for peaches. So far, I recommend this tree.
