Today our amazing crew raced to get over 500 new trees planted before the rain tomorrow. The best time to get our trees in the ground is before substantial rain, this way Mother Nature does the necessary watering for us.
Among our new apple trees are Spanish hard cider varietals such as Coloradona and Collaos as well as Gin and Barland Perry pears for future Treasury Cider bottlings. 🍾
Stone fruit trees were also put in the ground today, including several varieties of yellow peaches and yellow nectarines. New to our farm is the peach variety Desiree, which will ripen as early as the first week of July, lengthening peach our season (normally beginning late July). We can expect to see fruit from these trees in two years!
Decisions as to where these new trees are planted pretty much determine how the orchard will look for the next 20 years!
