Angela O'Callaghan takes note of a Spring favorite, the Desert Willow.

The Cooperative Extension demonstration orchard will be selling fruit that's grown at the orchard starting in the next few weeks. The various fruits are now beginning to ripen, which means that soon there'll be some of the most delicious peaches, nectarines and apricots around.

This is the first time that the produce will be sold at the site of the orchard. All of the proceeds of the sales are going to support the orchard. Since this is a 100% volunteer operation, it's only going to happen on Tuesdays and Saturdays. But make sure to call the master gardener help line before you go up there, to find out the varieties and quantities that are available.
