elberta peach with a bumper crop
last years late frost caused our little tree to drop all of it's fruit. we were so disappointed, we had visions of eating them, even if there weren't very many we had plans! the year before, the little tree had a single peach that a squirrel stole before we could enjoy it. this year's crop will be well guarded, the squirrels are hereby put on notice, watch out! a lack of fruit last summer gave the little tree time to nearly double in size and as a result, the crop is larger and we hope it will be successful.
arkansas black apple with blossoms
this is the first year that the apple trees had blossoms, and only the granny smith and the arkansas black bloomed. hopefully, they were able to cross pollinate each other and we will see some apples this fall. we are having a problem with catapillars munching on the leaves but we are treating them with neem oil and hoping for some relief, otherwise, we may be seeking help. keep your fingers crossed, we hope to be picking fruit this year!
