We had a peach tree that took 10 years to grow to maturity and finally start producing peaches....and a year or two later it got some disease and died. How long did it take your tree to mature and start producing? Oh, I forgot to mention....and this is very important.....I've read where you need to have at least 2 peach trees for best results for cross pollination. My guess it one of my neighbors has peach trees because all we ever had was one. If I buy another peach tree, I will buy tree of them.....in case one dies. this is our trees third year. Aphids got them last year. It is a self pollinating variety, so only 1 is fine. Reno had a lot of rain in the spring and all the fruit trees are hanging low with fruit. A friend has two apricot trees that are load d. We preserved some, and made jam with some more, and they are still full of fruit. I am going to make a BBQ sauce. http://www.overatjulies.com/2012/06/asian-fusion-apricot-bbq-sauce.html imade BBQSauce. I started with that recipe but found it too sweet, so I amped up the salt, spice and acidity. (image.jpg)Attachments ---------------- image.jpg (1020KB - 16 downloads) |
