    This morning I just picked my first Desert Gold Peach and it was soooo good. I never buy peaches in the store but this was amazing! We only had a few this year because the tree was small but next year we are hoping for more. My apricots are only planted this spring so we didn't have any fruit. Can't wait for next year!

    • @EdgeofNowhereFarm
      @EdgeofNowhereFarm  2 года назад

      Hey Alan! The Desert Gold is a solid peach. We had one on the old property and it always did really well. The apricots tend to be alternate bearing, so you never know for sure how many you'll get, but they are a rally nice treat!

      Our Desert Gold peach tree has been in ground for five years and the fruit is so delicious and is a good producer with 40-50 fruit ready to eat. Our only problem is the bird pressure is heavy.

    Wow, I have a Katy apricot also and have at least 60 fruit on it. I had to thin it out because it had too much fruit on it. I was surprised to see you didn’t have that many on yours. I just planted a cot n candy aprium in the spring, hopefully by next year I can enjoy some apriums.

      That is a great harvest! We noticed on our previous apricot at the old farm that it would have a heavy fruit set every other year. So we are hoping this year was it's light year. The aprium should do very well for you!

    I just planted a Sunny Delight Aprium myself this spring. Was looking for an apricot tree as well but I guess I was out of season for them since they were all sold out at all the nurseries I looked online. By the way, what do you use around your fruit tree trunks to stake them?

    • @EdgeofNowhereFarm
      @EdgeofNowhereFarm  2 года назад

      You're really going to enjoy that aprium. We prefer their taste over the apricots, but they're both a solid fruit to have around. For stakes, we use t-posts and tie wire wrapped in old garden hose. They're a solid stake and also very easy to pull out with a t-post puller.

      Crazy, huh? We've found a few things to be key to growth, but with the right root stock, our near constant warm temps and sunlight is what drives the growth of these trees. There are a few other things that help (planting depth, proper irrigation, fertilizing and mulch), but those are really the drivers.

    • @EdgeofNowhereFarm
      @EdgeofNowhereFarm  2 года назад +4

      Great question and we didn't address that in this one, probably should have! Pluots and Apriums are both crosses between apricots and plums. The difference is the dominance of one gene or the other. A pluot has the plum as the dominant parentage and looks more like a plum (similar taste and texture to plum as well). The aprium has the apricot as the dominant parentage and appears more like an apricot in shape, color, etc.

    • @EdgeofNowhereFarm
      @EdgeofNowhereFarm  Год назад +1

      Hey Jeff. We usually have multiple varieties of apricot/aprium trees that all flower at the same time for cross pollination. In speaking with our nurseryman it sounds like it's pretty typical to see production issues with apricots from time to time. I (Duane) grew up with an apricot tree in SoCal and had the same issue there. That being said, the fruit set this year as been pretty solid, so to your point it may be the tree's age that's causing the issues. I suppose we'll see.
