Fewer acres of California farmland are dedicated to growing stone fruit compared to 10 years ago when growers of freestone peaches and nectarines voted to end the California Tree Fruit Agreement. But apricots, nectarines, peaches, plums, prunes (which USDA distinguishes from plums in its data) and sweet cherries continue to perform well.

New research on the peach genome could eventually lead to heartier peach trees able to withstand changing climate conditions while still providing a tasty fruit.

Following a $15 million award for compensatory damages, a federal jury has awarded a Missouri peach farm $250 million in punitive damages in its dicamba drift case against Bayer and BASF.
