Adopt-a-Peach Tree
May 26, 2007

Visit http://www.masumoto.com/2007-adopt-peach-tree.htm for information about a unique program that's bringing back the old-fashioned heirloom Elberta peach. Those who remember these spectacular peaches from childhood know the likes of them haven't been seen in years. The program is simple. Folks apply to adopt a tree. When the fruit is ready for harvest later in the summer, people go to the orchard and pick their peaches themselves (sometimes up to 800 peaches per tree!). In the meantime, the farm sends updates about the tree's progress. Applicants are screened; not all are accepted.
