Harvesting Peaches Before It's Too Late! 

Harvesting Peaches Before It's Too Late!
Nothing beats the taste, flavor and juiciness of home-grown peaches!
That being said, knowing when to harvest them can be tricky... if you wait too long, the birds and squirrels will get to them. If you pick them too early, they won't be as plump, sweet and juicy as you'd want!
The exact time to pick peaches is determined by the cultivar, but generally they are harvested from late June through August. Color is a great indicator of maturity. Peaches are ripe when the ground color of the fruit changes from green to completely yellow. If yours have the right coloring (no green at all) and it's sometime between June-August (check your varieties harvest time) you can feel the fruit at the stem on the tree and if there is some give, it is likely ready for picking! Be sure not to bruise them!
The peach tree I am harvesting from in this video is from a nursery and it's a 6 year old Harvester Peach Tree. It's in its 4th year of production from and it has about twice as many peaches as last year's harvest. I have noticed that all of my organic methods for curbing the plum curculio has helped but not satisfactorily reduced the damage it causes. I think I will begin to test some insecticides next year as the battle seems to be too much.
My Loring Peach Tree should be ready for Harvest come end of the month or first week in August.
I also grow peach trees from seed!
