Peach Pruning and Varieties Highlight County Tour
The article reviews a peach tour led by Clay County Agent Billi Collier covering pruning basics for vigor and quality, with horticulturists from A&M discussing varieties such as Clingstone, Cardinal, Dixie Red, Ranger, Red Globe, Keystone, and the new Fort Valley 9-25. Joe Cole advises thinning to one peach every 5-8 inches after early May, while Tom Denman emphasizes training young trees over two years. Experiences from H. O. Kunkel, H. A. Turney, Jack Jenkins, and Uriel Randolph cover marketing, fruit insects, and apples as a potential cash crop, followed by Q&A and peach sales.
