On the other hand, my brother-in-law planted a Freestone Peach and got fruit the next year (though only a few due to 3 foot tall tree)
I had a sour cherry tree in my last garden and every year it produced lots of cherries. Then one year there were no cherries and I asked a fruit vendor about it. He said he was unable to purchase sour cherries that year anywhere. You just never know much fruit will be harvested each year.
