I think so too, but I like 'em better fresh off the tree.

I'm upset! The unseasonably cool, wet weather caused our peach trees around here to get leaf curl really bad. The peaches were actually falling off the trees when they were only about the size of a marble. Be lucky to get a dozen peaches per tree.

I have some dropping too, but the trees are so loaded, I hope to have plenty to eat.

My worse problems are late frosts and fruit rot. Any suggestions?

How many trees you got? Smudge pot for late frosts.
Fungicides for fruit rot maybe? Might ask your local nursery or ag extension office.

Only 3 peach trees, but planning on more.

I've been studying up on frost fans, etc, but smudge pot is a new one on me. I'll have to look it up. Thanks.

I was beginning to think I'd have to buy a helicopter, but then I'd have to sell my Lear jet.

Okay, I didn't know they were called smudge pots. Thanks again.

You might call them a choofa/chufa?? They used to use them a lot in S. Calif orange groves. Not sure but I think you can use sprinklers or water sprayers to keep fruit from freezing also. Even tap water is warm enough to eliminate the frost.

Yeah, sprinklers can be used, but from what I read you can do more harm than good. My planned orchard will be about 100 ft higher than here, so I think I'll be alright. Just a home orchard anyway.

Looks like what we Michiganders call a "sallamander"
