Hello Dan!

 

Ever heard of Taylor University?!!??  I'll be there April 21 - 23 for my daughter's recital.  She is a music major at TU.  Would be happy to meet you and cover some peach recommendations while there.  We grow apples, peaches, plums and a few pears here at Royal Oak Farm (http://www.royaloakfarmorchard.com). I am responsible for about 1,000 peach trees which include about 10 different varieties.   let me know if you would like to meet.

 

God Bless!

Subject: [NAFEX] Pears, peaches, and other fruits for Central Indiana. (Zone5)

I am located in Upland, IN, north of Muncie about 20 miles.  I am part of a small 50 member CSA and we want to start a small orchard.  Mainly, to serve the members and then grow from there.

I have determined that pears, and asian pears will do well here (pomes are grown locally for members already, so looking to branch out), any recommendations for peaches, nectarines, and plum varieties, and/or other fruit types that are uncommon but that could do well? 

 

Thanks

I have picked up from some letters lately that pruing some apples in the winter encouraged tons of water sprouts and that some varieties are better pruned in the summer to avoid that.  Is that true?  What varities are better summer-pruned and when is a good time to do that?  Jerry in southern Indiana
