Sorry about your back! I have a very late cling peach that grows in my yard. I have no idea of the variety since it came with the house. It grew a huge crop this year, so much that branches broke (I didn't thin as much as I should have). I didn't get to taste any of it, though, as it's so late-cropping that I was on a trip in Autumn when they were finally ripe in mid-October or so (in a marine Berkeley, CA climate). It is susceptible to leaf curl and possibly to brown rot as well. But it tastes quite nice. In a climate that gets more heat than we do, I could see it developing peak peach flavor. I'd be happy to send scions to folks if they provide the postage. On Dec 22, 2008, at 8:58 AM, Alan Haigh wrote:
