It’s fruit harvesting season the low desert! We’re harvesting Anna’s Apples now as they ripen. This desert-adapted apple tree was developed in Israel at the Ein Shemer kibbutz and need relatively few winter chill hours to set fruit. When the apples are greener, they are tart and good for baking. As they ripen they get sweeter, comparable to Golden Delicious.

A handful of plums and blackberries goes well with morning coffee! These are Beauty Plums and Natchez Thornless Blackberries, developed in 2007 by researchers at the University of Arkansas and the United States Department of Agriculture

Everyone we know growing apricots in the Phoenix area is having a bumper crop this year. Our tree, a Gold Kist Apricot, is no exception. We had a cool spring, so maybe there was better fruit set than normal?

We have two varieties of low chill, desert-adapted peach trees. This one, our Eva’s Pride Peach, has fruit ripening now. the fruit on our other peach tree, a MId-Pride, will start ripening in a couple of weeks or so.
