Tree Tales: Stone Fruit 🍑

A peculiar description, the word stone fruit refers a group of trees (peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums) that all share one characteristic their singular pit which is covered with a hard layer making them stone like.
As they sleep during the winter, their branch structure will be revealed and you can see exactly how you want to prune them.
They enjoy these cold winters which allows them to really flourish in the spring even though we already have a few trees already blossoming in the garden.
An easy way to differentiate between these seas of blossoms we often see along the road is the colours, if they are pink they are peaches or nectarines, and if they are white it is probably white.
So come and experience their blossoming beauty and walk along the stone fruit pit lanes of the Stone Fruit Block on the farm
