Make sure you cull about half of the fruits or your trees won't put out any peaches next year.

Im sorry for you guys down there. Its just starting to shape up around here. Everythings in bloom. Going to be a nice long sunny day here. Clear blue skies. A little cool. ~65F. Will be doing yardwork in a bit.

Yeah, we are seeing more of those gloomy overcast days Melbourne is noted for. Coupled with smirking Dan Andrews, not a happy combination.

That pic looks a lot higher resolution than it ends up being.

No doubt.

I would love to grow a peach tree.

It seems that every tree with fruit that I plant either gets destroyed by deer, or fuzzy tailed tree rats steal all my fruit.

At least the tree rats leave me a few figs, but have not tried a peach tree yet. Maybe next year.

Yes, I had a tree fence as well, the fuckers brought stomped that shit down. I guess if ever comes to SHTF, at least there is a good stock of deer around, and at that point I won't mind following a blood trail through the neighbors yards.

6 years ago, I threw three rotten peaches out into the yard and forgot about them.

4 years ago, I bought a peach tree from a local store and planted it.

3 years ago, I realized that the three peaches I threw out there grew into trees. I now had 4 peach trees.

2 years ago, I realized 2 more trees grew from the first three. That makes 6 peach trees.

Last year, I let them all fruit as much as possible. I gave away 600 peaches, kept about 200 for myself. Between that and another 100 or so that fell early, rotted on the tree, etc, I threw about 300 pits out into the woods behind my house.

I really wanna see how many peaches are gonna be around in a few years.

Well shit, with that many fermenting peaches around, you might not even have to traverse neighbors yards to get your venison for the year.

Dude, you could make soooo much peach wine with that excess.

[ - ] lord_nougat [op] 2 points 11 monthsMay 25, 2023 01:20:51 ago (+2/-0)

Do post the technique for this! I am intrigued.

I'll tell you about my mead.

[ - ] totes_magotes 0 points 11 monthsMay 25, 2023 07:43:48 ago (+0/-0)

Yup. But I made jelly. A lot of jelly. I gave jelly away. I still have some. Damned good stuff.

Nice!

What kind of peaches? Elberta? Yellow, White? Freestone, clingstone?

[ - ] lord_nougat [op] 2 points 11 monthsMay 24, 2023 23:31:34 ago (+2/-0)

Yellow, planted from a pit out of a particularly delicious peach we had quite some time ago..

[ - ] UncleDoug 2 points 11 monthsMay 24, 2023 23:35:29 ago (+2/-0)

Stone come out easy or hard to take out? Large or small? Round or flat? Super sweet or sweet/tart?

Elberta, O'Henry, Suncrest, Saturn.

More fruit tree porn please.

This might be the first year we actually get fruit from it. Year before last, a storm blew everything off of it and that was that. It lived, and then the next year, another storm was nearly as bad, but there were 5 surviving peaches. Vermin destroyed those.

So... thus year we finally find out! I hope.

Getting tons of blackberries right now. I should take a picture of those tomorrow.

[ - ] UncleDoug 1 point 11 monthsMay 25, 2023 01:25:37 ago (+1/-0)

To maintain stone fruit health, spray the tree before it gets its new seasons leaves with a Bordeaux mix (copper sulfate, lime and water), this stops the bugs ravaging the plant.

I have a Chester dwarf, thornless blackberry, a god-tier health food bush up there with blueberries.

Holy shit, thanks! I'll get me some of that.

I hope it works on squirrels.
