Our deciduous salad tree will have 4-5 varieties composed of the following:
July Elberta Peaches (500 chill hours) – One of the most popular peach trees, notorious for its sweet, succulent fruit with the tell-tale blush covering its skin when perfectly ripe.
Fantasia Nectarine (500 chill hours)- Bright pink flowers cover the branches in spring, providing showy color and attracting butterflies and birds. It has very large fruit with red skin and bright yellow, firm flesh.
Babcock Peach (300 chill hours)- A Dave Wilson’s Taste Test Top Scorer that has been a long-time favorite for both fresh eating and canning.
Santa Rosa Plum (500 chill hours)- Beautiful, large, red fruits with gold flesh. These sweet plums are delicious when eaten fresh, cooked or canned.
Royal Apricot (300 chill hours)- Delicious to eat right out of hand when fresh, perfectly balanced with sweetness and acidity. When dried they make a wonderful yearlong snack.
