NC Sandhills Peach Report Week of July 16-22, 2006
Free-stone mid-summer peach varieties are ripening quickly with hot July temperatures. The old time “Georgia Bell” will ripen this week along with a newer white peach, “China Pearl”. “China Pearl” is a recent variety from North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. The large fruit is low acid and has a mild peach flavor. You can eat this peach while it has a bit of crunch or completely ripe when it’s juicy--- it’s almost like two different varieties. In addition to peaches the Sandhills roadside markets also have a great supply of watermelons, cantaloupes, and tomatoes. Peach varieties available this week are: Georgia Bell (white), China Pearl (white), Contender, Crest Haven, Sun Prince, Jefferson, and Fayette
