The first place I look for almost any information is ATTRA - what they don't
have in subject packets, they usually know where to research/refer.

Just recently Steve sent out notices of some new fruit publications. The
blueberry site I saved is:
Organic Blueberry Production
http://www.attra.org/attra-pub/blueberry.html
I'd drop the /blueberry.html and review the other publication titles -
failing that, you might call/email Steve Diver who's aware of all the
various work they've assembled.
We do have an Extension fruit experiment station here in Mountain Grove, MO
with extensive experience in fruit varieties and cultivation. I don't have
their direct information, but you can find them I believe through the MO
state web site at http://www.state.mo.us
The Texas A&M site has much detailed production information (don't know
about peaches, though). It's search page is
