Chris:
According to USDA Handbook of Peaches and
Nectarines, it is thought to be a seedling of Blood Cling from France prior to 1857. Don’t
know a thing about its specific history of hybridization, however a number of
red or maroon foliage “ornamental” varieties have been introduced and I suspect
they were likely to have originated from this peach.
I do know that Joe Goffreda of Rutgers has used some
sort of Redleafed peach in his hybridization with various non-melting
(processing) peaches and flat peaches.

Hello all:
Can anyone give me any information on the
origin, history, and breeding of the Indian Red or Indian Blood Red
peaches? I assume they are the same peach sold under different names,
since they appear to be identical in my orchard. Thank you for any
information you can provide. Chris
