I added a second Montmorency Cherry this season, and a Honeycrisp Apple and a Mount Royal plum. I have a good crop of plums on one of my plum trees, but the other not so good.

So, as of now we have three plum, three cherry, three really OLD apple trees that were here when we bought the place, two peach and five newer apples (the Honeycrisp, two Wolf River and two Bonnie Best.)

It’s taken me about 8 years of adding trees, but now I actually have an ‘orchard.’ :)

I do want to add two pear trees, but they’ll need to go on the other side of the drive.

Ate my first peach of the season this morning! I gave Husband a slice...but just one, LOL!

To me no one has ever really tasted a peach unless they pluck it off a tree just before its ready to fall....I'd grab one when on the garden tractor cutting the back yard, so delicious, and the juice would just drips off your chin. Our peach tree would skip a fruiting everyonce in a while. I envy you.....:O)

The stuff you get in the supermarket seems so tasteless.
