Every time I go down I65 the water tank gets my attention. Today I took the exit and went in for a close up view.

There is more than one of these peach water towers?!?! I knew about the Peachoid in Gaffney, SC from the Nexflix series House of Cards.

Totally unrelated question, but what does the āBroPhoā mean on yer pics?? Does it have anything to do with the Vietnamese soup, pho? Or, is it short for ābrother photoā? Or none of the above?

Gotcha, thanks. What kind of peaches can you get in Clanton? Growing up in the Tulsa, OK area, the place to get fresh peaches were in Porter, OK. Last year when my Mom came up to see us, I had her bring us some. Very tasty.
I donāt recall seeing posts from you about growing peaches. Do you have any such trees?
I was meaning to ask you, donāt you have an Orient and/or Pineapple pear? I have both of these trees, but have forgotten which is which. But, I can tell a difference in each treeās leaves. I was wondering if you have either of these trees, would you mind taking a few pics of the leaves for a comparison? I would appreciate it a lot. If not, no big deal.
The other major difference between my two trees is that one has grown like gangbusters, and the other has been really slow to get going.

I donāt know what varieties of peaches you can get in Clanton. I had one nectarine but it has fuzz on it so now Iām the proud owner of one small peach tree.

Thank you so much, Bill. Thatās very nice of you to respond so quickly. Well, based on the leaf you showed, it looks like my Orient is the less vigorous tree. Its leaf has that fatter oval look more than the other treeās. It has a longer oval look to it, with a little bit of a ādevil tailā on it.The Pineapple is the one thatās really took off. Iāll post some pics of each tree.
Sorry to hear that you ended up with a peach instead of a nect. Hopefully itāll produce tasty fruit for you regardless.
