plum/peach/drupe fruiting trees

i've read that the sweet plum, which resembles peach, is unusual in that it is a deciduous tree that easily keeps jin and shari and deadwood. is this also true for peach trees? they are very similar horiculturaly so i would assume so but...u know what they say about assumptions.

there are many Prunus mume (japanese aprikot) with stunning jin and shari, you would have to treat it with some woodpreservative anyway.
Give it a go.

But do not be surprised if the deadwood becomes riddled with borers.

Excellent. Well I will definitely treat w some lime sulfur. Anyone have any good pics of peach bonsai? They also develop nice textured bark correct?

Peach have long narrow leaves that tend to get every rust and bacterial disease in the books. They also get a lot of borer (and then rot) problems. I have never found them to be satisfactory as bonsai.

But then, I was growing them outside. You probably won't be.

No sir. I've never been able to keep any bonsai alive indoors. But I have seen alot of very beautiful peaches and umes and cherry bonsai. Yea now u mention it cherry wood turns to sponge after a few yrs of weather. Well the man wants me to remove it from his garden ......so I've nothing to lose and everything to gain! Thanks
