FWIW, it's a Junegold.  It has borne fruit as early as the first week of May, following one especially mild winter, but is "programmed" for the first of June.  Not as tasty as the later ones, but used with Bluebell Homemade Vanilla ice cream, it'll do t'until the real ones come in.

A few of the blooms survived and the peachlets are about the size of a pencil eraser.

I irrigate out of a public lake; during the drought I had to push my intake pipe 120' out to find water.  I lost several older peach/plum trees anyway.
