We
are in the middle of summer, and the
Central Valley of California becomes stone fruit
country. As the temperatures rise high,
apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, and Pluots
ripen fast. There are many varieties of yellow
and white flesh peaches and nectarines, plums,
and Pluots. Some of the varieties were harvested
as early as the last week of April, and some
other varieties will be harvested through late
October.
There
are approximately 117,630 acres of land in
California that were used to grow peaches in
2010, and each acre yielded about 9.79 tons of
fruit, according to a USDA report in January
2011.
Here are some photos of locally grown stone
fruit.

Here are a couple of photos of
Granny Smith apples in a backyard in Clovis, taken
on the first a weekend of June. This mature apple
tree put out a lot of fruit this year. It is totally
organic.
California apple
commercial production in 2010 was 300 million
pounds. California growers reported, low pest and
disease pressure, and very good quality, according a
USDA report.
There are no
statistics on backyard production.
