"Congratulations! Tell me, please, how peaches ripen? I also want to know, in which regions and at what time you can safely buy these fruits? (Marina) »
As soon as the fruits of the peach tree have time, the long-awaited peach season begins in city markets and shops. And it is very, very difficult to stop in time, so these fruits are fragrant and delicious. However, it is not for nothing that buyers are interested, when garden peaches ripen. And all because, that you want to buy ripe and healthy fruit.
Experts believe, that the most delicious varieties of peaches and nectarines ripen in the Crimea. The ripening time of these varieties is the second half of June. However, the main harvest is in July and August. It is during this period that you can buy fruit all over Russia without worrying about their quality. What's interesting, you can buy these juicy and fragrant fruits at a relatively lower price in early and mid-September. Naturally, that the yield of this fruit tree decreases significantly with the advent of October.
The season of nectarines and peaches takes place in the Krasnodar Territory. However, planting such trees is not recommended on loam or sandy soil, as this is not the optimal environment for planting such plants. Growing is best done on a structural basis, if we are talking about the Krasnodar Territory and the Kuban. Another important point of planting peaches in the region: prefer windless areas, because it is in such conditions that ripe peaches will delight you with their taste.
Crimean nutritious peaches, apparently, are most in demand. However, do not forget, that when you go to the store to buy fruit in the off-season, you, probably, find fruit there, which have already undergone appropriate chemical treatment. Most fruits are sprayed with gaseous sulfur preservatives, therefore, if you break the mature fruit, the bone inside will be twisted and slightly dried. Such fruits can be purchased for making jam, compote or some pie. As for eating them raw, then it is undesirable.
Let's say, you bought the long-awaited peaches, but they were immature. Do not worry, they will be able to have time at home. To do this, simply spread them out on a plate and leave at room temperature for a few days. They will mature in that case as well, if you put them in a paper bag with bananas. Uzbek peaches are a good choice. By the way, the yield of these trees in Uzbekistan is also good.
