As Alan has reminded all of us over the years, it takes at least a few years to evaluate a peach. Last year Selena was the star of my orchard. They were unreal. This year, not so much. I had a lot and experimented harvesting them over a 2 week period. I ate some right off the tree, left some on the counter between 1-5 days. Some were pretty good, most were average and some were poor.
It seemed every last one of them last year was awesome.
The best peaches in my orchard this year was Early Elberta.
Jade nectarines were good
Rich May was not great but it was nice to have something early in the season.
Starfire was Ok, I froze most of those for smoothies.
This is only the third year I have had peaches but it’s been fun so far.
