Britton was sitting out on the front porch this evening when he heard…”cccrreeaak” and then he saw a huge branch of the peach tree split from the tree. It was so heavy with peaches that it just fell down! We harvested all the hard peaches and we’ll see if they will ripen up, but the tree looks super weird and bare now. Hopefully it will live through the damage! We love peaches and were looking forward to the bumper crop. There are still quite a lot on the tree, but Britton pulled a few off the other branches that looked to be drooping too much.

Britton with the fallen branch– it’s pretty good sized!

Peaches that we had to remove just from that one branch! Bummer! But they may be saveable/edible
