Spring Gold

Left to ripen properly and this is the first summerfruit you may taste for some time, and is delicious.


Spring Crest

A larger peach, Spring Crest ripens in the second week of May and is a great way to open the season. If you're not a fan of peach fuzz, this is the one for you - beautiful colour and very little fuzz - a lovely peach to handle.


June Gold

Another peach that benefits from tree ripening, it is wonderful eaten fresh, on its own or sliced on desserts or breakfasts.


Sure Crop

This bright red and gold skinned beauty can be with you like the others throughout the year through, if you enjoy making jams and preserves

Fruit is round, medium-size and well colored. Flesh is yellow, firm but melting, good flavor and structure

A sweet freestone peach. Great for eating or cobblers.

Dixieland

A popular peach which ripens about the last week of July. Freestone, good color.

Bounty

Large, round yellow flesh. A very attractive fruit. Freestone. Ripens mid July.
