Put in some june gold and babcocks a few years ago. They fruited the first time this year. All fruit ended up destroyed, but didn’t take long to figure out june gold does not ripen in june here. Does anyone know when either of these ripen in zones 6or7? Or if either are a problem child on the east coast? Thanks.
How have these turned put for you? Is June gold frost hardy?
Pretty sure both of them were mislabeled trees from Lowes. June Gold is an early ripening cling and what I got was not. The other was a white peach, but ripened way past the Babcock window. Both have been grafted over since this post.
Later on I started going with super early peaches to try to avoid the main rot season and give some time between them and the early apples/pears. So far even with the super early varieties I’m not really having a lot of problems with frost. There is only a couple days between flowering of my super early and late peaches. They all overlap.
