June Peach Varieties

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Peach orchards in June are full of activity. Irrigating, managing pests and pruning to make sure each piece of fruit is getting as much nutrients as it can before harvest. All California peaches are still hand picked, carefully inspected and packed by hand.  Keep an eye out for these varieties that are just beginning to come off the trees at your local market.

See if you can tell the difference between a white peach and a yellow peach just by looking at it!
