They could have fit longer trees in the box. They ranged from 29"-35" from graft union to top. But they were large caliper and had good sized roots.
Here’s the Carnival peach. I hadn’t planned to add any more peaches on Citation, but I made an exception:
1.) The Carnival which fruited for me for the first time this past year was just that good (15-23 brix fruit).
2.) Citation often runts out for me, but I’ve tried planting this one in an area which stays moist. A nearby plum is doing great on Citation, so I figured that I would give it a try. It doesn’t get standing water, as I’ve got the planting area raised over a foot (the big log in the pic). For that matter, there isn’t usually standing water under the log- just a bit squishy sometimes. But I probably won’t ever need to water it, as water from a good chunk of the yard drains to there.
There are a few flower buds which look like they are pushing a bit. Hopefully they can go back to sleep a bit with the coming chill…
It is sometimes. About 2 weeks ago, the ground was hard, but there have been a lot of days in the 40’s and a few in the 50’s, before the heat wave the last 2 days. So the ground was actually decently workable. I turned over some soil in the garden as well.
