5,200 lbs. Torsion Axle

A torsion axle went bad on our camper just as we arrived in Copper Harbor, MI. That is 7 hours from our home and we needed to get the camper out of that area within a couple weeks because winter sets in early there and they get up to 250″ of snow per year so we couldn’t leave our camper there for any length of time. The camper had Dexter axles so we contacted Dexter for new ones as well as sending them all the original info from the originals; when we spoke to them of our urgent situation they said, “we get a hundred of these calls everyday” it took them a week to get me a price and the expected delivery was up to 4 weeks after we accepted the proposal. I found Blueswift on the internet reached out to them late Sunday evening, they called me by phone Monday morning, gave me a price while on the phone, we paid them an extra fee for “quick turn-around” and on Thursday morning at 10am I received a phone call from a trucking company that the axles would be delivered to the campsite in Copper Harbor by noon……My wife and I went to Copper harbor on Friday, installed the axles(they fit perfectly!!!!!!!!) and had our camper safely home before any of the feared weather started…………This is truly a wonderful experience!!!!!!

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

Prefers well-drained loam or sandy loam; avoid clay-heavy or waterlogged soil.
Add compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0.

Planting Instructions

Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
