The ‘Tri-Lite’ peach-plum hybrid is one of the most beautiful members of the (extended) peach family.
It is also quite a delicious fruit, really combining the best of both parents. It looks externally and perhaps tastes most like a peach, but the strikingly white flesh has a texture that leans slightly in the plum direction, and the pleasant aftertaste is very plummy. We were able to eat a bumper harvest of these, though the latter part of the crop coincided with the apparent loss of good bee fodder and so we lost some of the crop.
The bees were also kind enough to share some of their Arctic Jay nectarines and Arctic Supreme peaches with us.

Nice color–especially in the top photo.

I haven’t been by here in months, but it never fails to fill me with Prunus envy every time I do.
Long time no see–how are things?
(I just took that “Political Compass” thing…turns out we’re virtually idential. I’m just a hair more economically left-leaning, but that’s it.)

EFL, welcome back! Glad to fill you with prunus!
Now it is on to malus and pyrus. Lots of pomes ripening about now, including the first crop of the amazing ‘Freyburg’ apple.
Re the Compass, yes, I was rather surprised just how right-wing I turned out to be.
