Late start but better season for Texas peaches compared to last year

Late start but better season for Texas peaches compared to last year It’s anticipated that Texas peaches will have a better season for 2021. This follows a challenging 2020 Texas peach season. “We had tremendous demand and a weak crop mid to late season last year so we didn’t have enough to meet the demand,” says Jamey Vogel of Vogel Orchard in Fredericksburg, TX. The region is part of Texas Hill Country where approximately 40 to 50 percent of the state’s peaches are grown. The varieties in the mid to late season were affected by limited winter chill and some peak season varieties produced only 25 to 30 percent of fruit last year. Vogel estimates the 2020 crop was only 40 percent of usual volumes and there were size issues as well.

Texas winter storm might not be harmful for Hill Country peach crops

Texas winter storm might not be harmful for Hill Country peach crops There might finally be some good agricultural news after last month s winter storm, Uri. According to Hill Country peach growers, the freeze that hit the area in mid-February arrived before the trees started forming buds. This means this year s peach crop shouldn t be affected by the storm. Now that more typical weather has returned to the area, growers are pruning trees, planting new ones and treating them with a protective spray that keeps winter pests at bay. Peaches need a certain amount of ‘chill hours’, so having a prolonged cold spell before budding could help this year s crop.
