Reminds me of my old peach tree! It would make little peaches and then after a while, I'd find little green peaches lying on the ground...something had bitten, then discarded them! Some would make it to be larger, but usually all were gone before being ripe. Wildlife! Eventually borers killed the tree. Now I have a native mulberry by the shed, which produces berries every spring, and I even get to eat some ripe ones before the rest disappear. And pokeweed...the birds eat the berries with my blessing!
