Peach trees

I finally did it--I got some peach trees. After digging a huge hole, mixing the dirt with mulch, and planting them, here is what I did: Yes, I cut off half the tree. According to the Utah Extension service, this is what you do. Cut it off 26-30" from the ground, then cut off all but 4 little branches, and trim them to 6" or so. Then Adam helped me paint them (so they don't get sunburned). Adam says "I'm going to paint my skin so I don't get sunburned." SPF 50? At least!
