Scotts Stone Fruit Experiences Through 2022

There were some requests for an update to my last stone fruit report in 2015 … here it is! One thing I should mention is many of these are unusual types, I get excited about something different. I grew many flat peaches, honey peaches, red-fleshed peaches, white apricots, etc. Many of these unusual kinds I still like. I also grew a great many heirlooms, a few were interesting but over the years I have phased out most of them due to various flaws. For the first ten or so years of my orchard …

Note that I now use more effective anti-rot sprays so I can grow about any peach. For example Arctic Glo does fine for me now. Most of the rot lessons I learned back when I was fully organic.
