  • Question

    This tree is in my backyard. It is a stone fruit. I don't know what it is. Could you help me?

    Answer

    Dear Kate, the plant looks much like Prunus persica (peach), given the densely hairy fruit with a single seed (the stone that you mention). Given that it is in your back yard (where it was probably planted), this seems to be a good place to start with the identification.
