My idea of the perfect peach has a lot of red in it, and when you bite into it, the juices run down your chin and all over the ground! I've been to a couple farmer's markets here in Oklahoma where I have been fortunate enough to experience that, and it is awesome! Mom used to put Granny Smith apples in my lunch when I was little because I like the tart flavor I tasted when I bit into it. I always enjoyed lunch, knowing I was going to get a Granny Smith's apple! Life was so simple when I was little. The biggest thing I thought of was if I was going to get my favorite apple, a cherry cheese cake or spaghetti for supper with garlic bread lol or eat all my mom's candy jarred cherries haha
I'm right there with you brother. It wasn't an apple, but I remember bagged lunches as a kid and having dinner with the family. Precious memories indeed, so thank you for sharing yours!
Hey Todd. Reid really is an amazing source of knowledge for us here in the desert when it comes to fruit trees. I can only imagine how many pieces of fruit he's responsible for someone harvesting. The count is in the thousands for us alone!
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 I planted a Florida Prince Peach 🍑 in February. Our humidity is so high that I went with the Florida University suggestion. 👍🤞👍 As always, Duane and Lori, you have a terrific channel. 👩🌾👍
Movin to country ... gonna eat a lotta peaches. LOL ... now I gotta go listen to Lump and the rest! Looking behind you, I notice that you're not painting those trunks any longer. Is that something you did in winter and they've just grown bigger, or now that they have so much shade, you're not worried about it any more? Our early Alberta is about ready to pick...usually it's a July 1st thing. First fruit on this tree but we've had that variety in the yard before. Cant wait. Love the new drone footage, but the new music was a surprise. Good stuff!
Hey Kevin! Glad I'm not the only fan of that group. Lump is another classic for our generation! We usually stop painting the trunks once the canopy is shading it. The exception is on a few of the trees where we have concerns with rabbits or ground squirrels munching on the bark. I'm hoping that peach is as good as you remember. We were really excited to taste that first FlordaPrince after 2 years of not having them!
Thanks for sharing the variety of peaches. We planted this year and got two peaches we were so excited. We live in Yucca Arizona same dirt temperature and altitude as you all. That gives me hope that we will have lots of fruit next year. Thanks again for sharing and keep on posting cuz we are copying you. That's a good compliment right!
@@Takeda4Him Hey Richard! First time I've heard of Yucca, AZ! You're really going to be surprised at the amount of production on peach trees here in AZ. I'm glad you're enjoying the content and thank you for the compliment!
Could you imagine doing a tour with a name like the presidents of the United States, there must have been some very confused people at many events! Lol. They were awesome to see live in a small venue. One good thing about living in Seattle is the small venue music scene. Some good looking peaches by the way.
I would love--seriously!--to put a bushel of ripe peaches in the freezer. I used to use visiting family in the northeast as an excuse to get them, LOL. Take care, kids!
Excellent video, I bought 4 of peaches from Grocery store, In Georgia , we have lots Peach orchard in georgia, Hope you will not mind , I want to see your jujube next week, when fig will ripe. I am your fan since old farm
Hey there Abid! I imagine peaches from Georgia must be about as good as it gets! Oh and you'll get a peak at our new Jujube in the vlog that we have posting tomorrow! 😉
This one is a great freestone option, but our fav is still the FlordaPrince. It's clingstone, but definitely superior in flavor. That being said, it sure is nice to have full peach slices!!
We’ve got four peach trees in our orchard, we have a donut, a red haven, an early elberta, and a Red Baron peach. The early elberta has eight peaches and look like they’re about a month away from ripening
You'll have to let us know what you think of those varieties. If I recall correctly, the Red Baron has some amazing flower production when it breaks dormancy.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm hey Duane, I just picked my first early elberta and it was so sweet and juicy, but was surprised to find it was a white flesh peach. I was under the impression that it was a yellow flesh peach. Do you know what color a early elberta peach is supposed to be?
@@puckjohn that's a great question and I wouldn't be able to say. We have not grown that variety before and my go-to website (Dave Wilson) doesn't have them on there. It might be worth shooting an email over to Reid at RSI Growers to see if he knows. I'll link his website for you here; rsigrowers.com/
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm that one and Lump. I have a 90’s playlist that I listen to a lot and those are in there. Brings me back to high school and my early 20’s, lol.
Peach ice cream, peach shakes, peach pie, and peach cobbler are my favorite peach's. Wait almost forgot.....freach off the tree like your taste test or cut up in a bowl with a touch of sugar. I do love peach's
Hey there Gail. Most of these are from Arborists we've met through Chip Drop. We also have a neighbor down the road who delivers from us every so often if he doesn't have a Chip Drop customer in town. That's an online service that matches arborists with folks like us who want wood chips.
Now that would be GREAT to see. We have rain in the forecast as well and actually are getting some this evening for the first time in months! We were shocked to see the clouds appear and actual water falling from the sky. May it be a great start to a strong monsoon season. We need it BADLY!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm... Because I said God can cause it to rain on draughted land to fill lake Mead ... many mocked me with hatred towards the lord ... So I made this comment to people speaking evil of the lord ..... }}} If you don't repent Jesus will hurt you ...... Yet he is very slow to anger so humble your self and stop being evil ... Psalms 139.20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting .......... ...... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G2XtRuPfaAU.html
Hi Duane, do you have any knowledge of late blooming fruit trees? i have a peach and apricot tree that i never get fruit from because they bloom flowers early and the sw winds and late freezes blow all the blooms off. zone 7b/8a
Hey S G. You mentioned peaches, so I'm assuming the other fruit are off the table (Fall ripening apples tend to bloom pretty late). The Tropic Snow and Saturn peach are good options for us here that bloom a bit later, but I'm not an expert on some of the more cold hardy varieties as they don't work well for us here. Have you taken a look at the Dave Wilson website to see what varieties they have that have a higher chill hour requirement? Those would be my choice to focus on in colder climates like yours. Besides that, I would be growing your traditional apples and cherries for sure!
The FlordaPrince is still our favorite peach, but the Earligrande is really close (and also freestone). I have not had a mid-pride or Eva's pride, so I wouldn't be able to say.
yeah, there's nothing like a fresh ripe peach; it's too bad that most of the ones I see in the stores are so hard. It's really turned me off from buying peaches, and that used to be one of my favorite fruits!
We know just how you fee. We haven't had peaches from a tree since moving from the old farm 3 years ago. No chance we were buying them from the store after having the real thing!
We typically plant between October and late March. You can sometimes stretch that out to April, but it's dicey with the heat coming in so quickly behind planting.
We've done a few episodes on pruning and I'm pretty sure we did one this past Winter season that I'll link for you here if you wan to take a peak at it; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTgPUHu8pbs.html
We do plan on selling a few starting this Fall as we're working with a business partner who is propagating from our trees. Not sure if you're on there, but you'll want to join our customer email list as it's the only way we market things we have for sale.
