Artisan Blackberry Balsamic Vinegar, Dark

Our Blackberry Balsamic Vinegar is truly artisan and made right here in California. Using California balsamic and fresh blackberries grown on the organic farm of this family, it is developed over time until a rich smooth finish is created. A pleasant tanginess is found in this Balsamic Vinegar, perfect for those that don’t enjoy the deep sweetness of some older Balsamic Vinegars. A tasty addition to marinades for pork or chicken heading for the grill. This Balsamic is perfect for adding zip to your salad dressing. Customers love to pair this Balsamic with our Blood Orange Olive Oil and make a salad with mixed spring greens, blue cheese, apples and toasted nuts. This Balsamic can be reduced and drizzled over ice cream or fruit.

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

Add compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0.

Planting Instructions

Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
