IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order

Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01

Late Summer & Fall Grafted Trees should be ready the following Spring. Deadline is October 01

 

A Pre-Order Grafting Request is an order for us to produce the specific tree that we don't currently have available in stock. We must graft the tree and then it must go through a multi-month process to heal and grow. Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.

Juicy Peach is from the breeding program of Gary Zill in Boynton Beach, FL (planting number F-29), reportedly a seedling of Tommy Atkins that may have had 'Gary' as its pollen parent.

 

The fruit are roundish yellow developing pink blush at the top as they approach maturity. The flesh is *extremely* soft, fiberless, with a lovely bright peach flavor that many people enjoy. The seed is monoembryonic. The fruit has a short shelf life unfortunately and stores/handles poorly due to its exceptionally soft flesh. Tree ripened specimens will smash if allowed to drop off the tree.

 

The tree itself is a very vigorous grower with spreading growth habit and dense canopy. We have been a little disappointed in its fruit-retention and production overall, but the tree has fruited every year for the past 6+ seasons or so. Its flowers and small developing fruit may be somewhat anthracnose prone, but on a positive note Juicy Peach appears to be resistant to mango bacterial black spot and rot fungi, likely owing to its paternal Gary parentage. It reportedly performs well in southern California where anthracnose is not a problem.

 

Juicy Peach is a mid-season variety ripening mostly in July for us.
