Last year, after doing a frustrating search for a Belle of Georgia Peach
Tree,
I spotted a nice looking grafted one at my local Home Depot. I normally
don't
buy from the builder's store, but the price was right and the tree
looked healthy.
It started bearing fruit the very next year. I was glad to see it was
several weeks
later than my Redhaven. I'm just now beginning to see a dropped peach. The
Fruit, Nut, and Inventory book says you should leave these peaches on
the tree
until they drop for maximum ripeness. The fallen peach looked clean,
but when
I opened it up, I saw a yellow color, almost identical to my Redhaven,
yet this is
supposed to be a white fleshed peach. My concern is whether this tree
is miss-
labeled, although the grower had put a distinctive tag on the tree as a
Belle of
Georgia. I called a friend of mine, who also grows this variety, and he
said that
this year his Belle of Georgia also was giving yellow flesh peaches.
Question, is
this a recognized phenomenon with white fleshed peaches, possibly due to
some
climatic effect here this year in the Chicago area, or do I have a
miss-labeled
tree?
