Peaches, Pools, and Properties: Austin’s Summer Scene
May 31, 2024
Texas Peach Season
“As summer begins, so will annual pilgrimages to roadside stands and farmers markets where popular varieties of Texas’ succulent freestone peaches arrive in successive waves through Labor Day. Those peaches set a national standard for sweet-ness, and—here’s the really good news—they are mostly reserved for Texans. The Texas census first mentioned peaches as a commercial crop in 1890, and by 1910, the state’s peach production peaked with 10 million trees. Today’s current tree count is a tenth of that—largely due to inconsistent weather cycles—meaning there’s not a steady enough supply for commercial export outside the state..”
