I won’t order from Bay Laurel again.

I agree what you say, but if I want to try say a June Pride Peach, not sure where else I could get it? Grow Organic probably carries, but I don’t want the tree in January.
Anyway I got scion, and yes the patent is expired and looks to be a super peach, but might not be suitable for here. Still looking at it, i have to try this one no doubt!
Go to this thread and look at those photos!!

Nectarines just better

I would agree that most nectarines are tastier than peaches, however there are some exceptional peaches that are every bit as good as if not better than the best nectarines! Here is a great example, June Pride peach, very low fuzz, deep dark red color, more fragrant than any nectarine I grow, and most importantly, very intense peach/ nectarine flavor! This peach is a cross of O Henery and June Lady clingstone and is the best fruit I grow in front of Flavor Supreme, Flavor King, Flavortop, and Ar…

500 chill hours (I grow the Nectaplum here no prob 250 chill hours)
Bloom season late midseason (this may make it work here)
Zones 6-9
Harvest Dates
July 1 to July 20
(approximate for Hickman, CA)

This one is worth testing. I’m at a stage I have all proven winners in now. I will get a harvest no matter what, time to experiment.
