Best apricots I've ever had were from the heritage trees at Stewart Town, Bannockburn.

I am trying to justify 2.5 kgs of Greenguage plums. Only 3 left on my tree bloody wind

rachelbarrowman.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yum. The only plums I have any respect for aside from omegas (the very best plum).

I like a good black Doris after the omega

Actually I tell a lie. I picked a very large, very oval, gold-coloured plum from a tree in Golden Bay the other week and it was delicious. No idea of the variety.

Probably Coes Golden. Like eating sunshine

I am a plum slut and grow many but harvest is thin

We actually, finally have a good stash of greengages this year!

growfromhere.bsky.social•21 days ago

Oh how wonderful if you are selling them. Let me know

I think I got about a pound of damsons this year

apocalypseelf.bsky.social•21 days ago

I love their colour

dialogcrm.bsky.social•21 days ago

Damsons are much later in Otago. Won't be ready till March. I have one tree that goes absolutely nuts.

growfromhere.bsky.social•21 days ago

Oh, that's disappointing. I need alot of damsons in winter.

There was just a NW ad for juicy nectarines and I was like "as if!"

I miss good stone fruit. Our local dairy used to actually have a good selection, but they changed owners.

Most you can get commercially is so very not juicy and tasty.

We went up central Otago on Friday and I had this white peach that was probably the nicest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth
