Do I need to plant two peach trees to grow fruit?

Q: Do I need to plant two peach trees to grow fruit?
A: No, peach flowers contain both male and female organs, so each flower can pollinate itself. No pollinator peach is needed. That said, if you plant two different varieties of peach your harvest may be a little larger due to the invigorating effect of two slightly different genetic combinations getting together.
