I’m starting a stone fruit orchard in my yard. I’m also interested in breeding apricot and peach to produce cold-hardy varieties that bloom late to resist late spring frosts. Currently, I’ve planted or ordered the following varieties:

Apricot: Westcot, Morden 604, Debbie’s Gold, Harogem, Harlayne, Hargrand, Precious, DR-606, Alice Sharp White

Sweet Cherry: Gold, WhiteGold, BlackGold

Tart Cherry: Evans, Crimson Passion, Juliet

Peach: Veteran, Contender, Reliance, Madison, Siberian C

Japanese-American Hybrid Plum: Black Ice, Superior, Pembina, Alderman, Toka, Waneta
Hanska, South Dakota, Gracious, Lavina, Vermont

European Plums: Mount Royal, Long John, Autumn Sweet, St. Julien’s, Empress, Yakima, Ewing, Pierrepont
