RE: The Oregon Curlfree Peach Tree - A Review for Tree Tuesday
I used to dry peaches ... they were pretty good. I used them in lieu of crackers for cheese. Pretty delicious:) Lovely photos to go along with this blog. I wonder if the curlfree would do well on the BC coast. The winter days might be too long.
That's a good idea, using dried fruit instead of crackers. I've been eating dried pears lately. I should try them with some cheese! I have read about folks growing Curlfree in BC, with success. You have the same troubles with the cool, wet springtime weather that spreads leaf curl. It's in the rain, so getting a resistant variety makes a big difference. Mine get ripe in July, so even if you were a month later, there's still plenty of time for the peaches to ripen up in August.
We do grow some wonderful peaches in the Okanagan but they have a very dry hot summer. They have a little community garden in the building where I live. There is a peach tree but the fruit wasn't so good. LOL.
Yes, try those pears with goat cheese... just wonderful:)
