Peaches and Pears |
by Emily Melchior, Riiska Brook Orchard Published July 1, 2024. |
This little seedling may not look like much now, but if everything goes according to plan, we will harvest peaches from it and its neighboring peach trees in a few years! There are 40 new peach trees, and we planted a few different varieties so we can see what grows best: August Rose, Glowingstar, Cresthaven, and Red Haven. We also planted twelve pear trees of two varieties to see how they do – Harrow Crisp and Harrow Sweet. Wish them luck, lots of sunshine, just enough rain, and safety from the deer! |
