SHOT 8/6/12 6:30:27 PM - Palisade Peaches for sale at Mt. Garfield Fruit and Vegetable stand in Palisade, Co. Palisade, Colo. is a Statutory Town in Mesa County, Colorado, United States. The population was 2,692 at the 2010 census. Palisade is known for its peach orchards and wine vineyards. The climate, a 182-day growing season, and an average 78 percent of sunshine makes Palisade "The Peach Capital of Colorado". Peaches grow very well in a fairly limited range, since they have a chilling requirement that low altitude tropical areas cannot satisfy. (Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2012)
