Peach Season Is Just Around The Corner
Print 
PDFPeach and nectarine season is just around the corner! Generally speaking we start seeing peaches around May 1st and the season can continue into September. We can look forward to the many varieties changing about every 1 to 2 weeks.
Imagine in about a month that these little pieces of fruit, as small as your finger, will be sizing up. The only difference between peaches and nectarines is that peaches are covered in a light fuzz. Below you can see three small Polar Light white nectarines growing closely together. One of the growers jobs is to thin out the fruit on the tree as they size up so they don’t rub against each other.
Check back on our website, Facebook and Twitter for updates on the first peaches of the season.
