I have several peaches starting the final swell, maybe tennis ball size. But many are 1.75 to 2 inches.Some have a nice red side.
What is the typical time frame from first picked fruit to last? They just look like they are far a part now.
Seems like mine go for about 10 days, somewhat variable with the amount of moisture available.
Spokane,
Are the later ones smaller? Some on my tree are much smaller and I can’t imagine they will catch up.
Because of our several late frosts, most of my surviving peaches are very low in the tree.
I didn’t thin much due to the freeze but what I do have are close together. On two other trees, also Red Haven, they are small but have only 5-10 peaches in all. So no pattern. Some big, some small, some close, some far.
I have not noticed a direct correlation between size and ripening times, but there might be an indirect correlation. The ones on the outside of the tree seem to ripen sooner and the ones on the inside seem to ripen more slowly. A lot of my smaller peaches also come from the inside of the canopy.
