Planting in the fog...

We planted our new trees a few days ago.  As you can see, it was quite foggy that early morning.  We have some new peach, apricot, plum, nectarine, pear, apple and cherry varieties that we can't wait to try.  We also have some new interspecific varieties: chums (cherry plum cross) and pubs (plum, peach, nectarine cross).
If you look closely, they are planting!


Gator #1 filled with some patiently waiting trees.

Jim making decisions on where all these trees are going!


Gator #2 filled with load #2 of new trees
We can't wait till these trees get ripe, so we can start doing some taste testing.  All of our trees come from Dave Wilson Nursery.  Most of our trees, including the new varieties that have been planted are created by Zaiger Genetics located in Modesto.  The Zaiger Family has a great history of achieving global prominence for their robust fruit and rootstock breeding program.
