Normal growth rate?

My PF-25 peach on Halford is a beast. Has about 14 fruits it’s second year in, and has STILL managed to push two feet of new growth already this season! Is this normal?

Second season.

Is that second season from seed? Looks beautiful!

No, second season from a purchased barefoot tree!

Seems about right for a healthy peach tree.

I only wish I would’ve cut off that narrow angled branch on the lower left, but if I did it now, the tree would be lopsided. I should’ve done it at planting time.

I had a peach tree last year that was bigger than that and it was in its second year from seed. It died over the winter :disappointed:
