Nice post! Did you spray them at any point?

Nice photos Mike.

We are missing pics of the beautiful showy blooms though :wink: Also missing is the time spent thinning the billion fruitlets per tree, lol.

Seriously though, I’ve put in a few more Saturn peaches. Very high sugar peach which most people like. I think I have about 4 new ones coming into decent production this year and about a dozen on deck.

FYI, for anyone unfamiliar with “on deck” - Rodeo term. Announcer would say something like Steiner up next, with Siemens on deck, and Glasser in the hole. If you were on deck, you knew you were next after the next ride.

Here is a photo of that Saturn in bloom. Not 2018 but a prior year.
