We planted four peach trees a few years ago at the same time we planted our blueberries. Despite being chewed unmercifully by deer since planting, they're doing reasonably well.
Peaches are, hands down and by a wide margin, my all-time favorite fruit, so this year I was pleased to see the first real crop.
Evidently I'm not the only one who enjoy peaches. I noticed a bunch of pits on the ground.
I had already picked (and eaten) the peaches on the other trees, so this one tree was the last to be harvested.
The fruit came to about seven pounds. I estimate I picked about three pounds from the other trees earlier. So, total, about ten pounds.
We're planning on reconfiguring the fencing around these peach trees to keep the ding dang deer away from the tender leaves. But meanwhile ... yum. Peaches!
