When purchasing peaches and they are very firm. Place peaches inside brown paper bag for a few days. Limit the number of peaches to each bag they need plenty of air space. Peaches will soften to a overripe state and delicious 🤤
I never thin out my peaches and most years they all just grow great, but a long late winter very wet here in the SoCal High Desert, and the time of pollination seems to have dwarfed this crop. The dormancy cycling with warm and freezing seems to disrupt their growth.
Ive seen this on a friends trees (that produced perfectly) only after he bought more trees from a store. Im thinking its an issue with crosspollination. The green peaches often have a sap that's coming from the fruit. Its taken over all of his trees. Definitly not a overabundance issue. Nothing will touch this "fruit" not even bears. It will stay on the tree untill the next year. Never rots just shrivels slowly in the arizona heat.
@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 Thanks for your response. However, I have already harvested all my peaches since I had to no choice cause of the birds, bugs, rabbits, etc. Most of them were green but some had a small patch of red. I froze them with lemon juice and made smoothies. Delicious with lemon juice
Assume I have pruned the tree as requires. I have. Assume I have thinned to one every 8 inches. I have. Assume it has gotten plenty of water. It has. Assume I have done all the spraying per peach nectarine plum guidelines. I have. I see no evidence of boreres. I religeously treat for those. Then why did this three year old tree appear to ripen and drop the peaches at a golf ball size maybe slightly larger here at the first/second week of may. Pretty and disease free but small. Actually because I over pruned early winter I had very few peach blooms anyway. Curious to see if the other peach tree which set alot of peaches but ripens later in the year does the same thing.
Because this year is SoCal High Desert as an example some hot days that woke up the peaches then cold fronts again with freezing just crippled the fruit development in two of my peaches. Has nothing to do with peach density. I can let them pack in and they can all develop just fine, I just give the plant more water, but the cold snaps screws them up in some springs here.
likely bad genetics that wont produce perfect peaches thinning to one peach per 8 inches might help then harvest them regaurdless of color just before shrivel and cook them down and sweeten and flavor them or give them to chickens or pigs

sounds like plum curculio bug.
Thanka.
Good to know! Thanks!
Does it pertain to plumes
Can you eat green peaches without getting sick?
when green they are safe to eat
cook them down and add sweetner
