Picking fruit trees especially peach trees is a very local thing because of a thing called chilling hours.(temperature below 45) Pick a tree with to many chilling hours for your area and it may never bloom because the tree did not have enough rest time. Pick a tree with to little chilling hours for your area and it will sprout early and you run the risk of late frost killing your blooms.
I can not plant any of the trees you have listed because I do not get enough chilling hours for them. I only get 500 chilling hours a winter at most and some years it can be a lot less so I plant trees with about 400 chilling hours and hope for the best. A list of chilling hours for my state for the winter of 2012 to 2013. Alexandria - 595 Baton Rouge - 453 Lake Charles - 92 Hammond - 493 Bossier City - 729
The trees you picked need these chilling hours to bloom properly.

So now the question is what is the chilling hours for your area.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
