Tiffblue looks so much like my Sweetcrisp - spherical and crunchy

Your peaches look really good. Mine seemed to have been bitten by bugs early on this season, unfortunately. I am sure whatever peaches I do get will still taste better than store bought.

My apricot trees are finally producing and I am disappointed :cry: Both Cot-N-Candy and Lossé Blenheim set decent number of fruits but most suffered pit burn! yes in San Jose (and I am closer to the bay than most of the city)!! Moorpark on the other hand, produced one unblemished fruit. The newly planted tree had canker last year which I cut out. It grew slowly and produced decent blooms this year, but most of them didn’t set fruit - likely due to young age. I had two size up and today I only found one on the tree.


The flavor is exquisite. I wish I gave myself the time to measure the brix before finishing it. I really like Blenheim (when grown in right conditions) but Moorpark has additional bursts of flavor and aroma. One of the best I have tasted so far. That begs the question - @fruitnut, why aren’t you growing this one? :wink:

Maybe I’ll try that one going forward. They are very dependent on growing conditions. I may not be able to match your results.
