Right on! I haven't been doing this nearly as
long as Alan, but I've already come to the same conclusion. We've got one
low acid white peach, "White County" and it's as bland as can be. I would
describe it as the "Red Delicious" of peaches. All it is, is a mouthful of
sugar. My understanding is low acid peaches were invented so growers could
pick them early/under-ripe/firm, and because the sugar is high relative to acid,
they will still taste relatively sweet. I doubt I'll knowingly plant another low
acid peach. As a contrast, my wife likes this peach (her tastes differ
significantly from mine). She thinks it tastes like peach
candy.
Thanks to Scott, Alan and Judson for their
peach recommendations.
