Hi John,

Sorry, I don't have any information on this variety. It was never grown at the Missouri Fruit Experiment Station, and none of my older peach books mention the variety. It is not in the collection at GRIN, either. Unless someone in NAFEX is growing the variety I don't know how you can get cuttings.

Suzi,

Are you able to tell me anything about this peach and a source where I could buy a few of these trees ?  There use to be an small orchard that my grandparents had in SW Pa, but, they have died out years ago.

 

U. P. Hedrick, 1917, The Peaches of New York, page 322, lsits a 'Butterpfirsich' peach.
"…skin marbled with deep red in the sun; flesh whitish, fainlty red at the stone, melting, juicy, sugary; stone small, oval, nedarly free, ripens August 11."

Regards,

John Casper

I had a lady e-mail me asking where she could buy Black Willow Twig apples (apples, not the trees). I don't have any, but was wondereing, is anyone growing this variety? If so, would you be willing to part with a few apples?

Thanks,
