Peaches With a harvest extending from early July to late August, Kimmel's tree-ripened peach selections provide a treat for visitors between the busy cherry and apple seasons. Varieties at Kimmel, which include Red Haven, Crest Haven and Loring, are excellent for cobblers, pies, jams or just eating fresh off the tree. Peaches are second only to apples in popularity as a deciduous tree fruit because of their excellent flavor and many uses. High in antioxidant vitamins A and C as well as potassium and fiber, the best ripe peaches and nectarines have a deep yellow or creamy white color, although color varies according to the cultivar. Homeowners who want to grow their own peaches should select bud-hardy cultivars such as those grown at Kimmel. Red Haven, for example, is considered one of the more reliable peach varieties for the Midwestern climate.  |
