Cat; I f you are not into pruning, I would suggest pre pruned trees. As for the big box stores, I have found thier labling atrocious. I have not ever gotten one true to cultivar. You are not that far from the center of peach production in SC. Maybe a road trip down toward Edgefield County, Johnston and a visit to a couple of orchards would give you some good ideas. Johnson Nursery in Elijay, Ga has a pretty good rep, but seem to only carry the latest innovations. Ison's has Redskin and Georgia Belle ( also a North Georgia Company) I got the Carolina Belle and White Giant from Starks several years. Carolina Belle is a much better producer of the two. Actually my last planting came from Vernon Barnes (Redskin and Golden Jubilee) excellent trees and great price, but they don't have a website. You can look all these up in the Watchdog.
