Hello Shule, they are a very juicy peach, there’s most likely a white peach in the parentage. When fully ripe, are very sweet with an edge of sharpness. They were reputedly brought to NZ by French immigrants and are known as Peche de Vigne in France. In the US there is a variety of blood peach that are clingstone and not quite as intensely coloured.
This year’s blossoms are only just forming, none have opened yet - the photo of last year’s blossoms was taken on 23 Sept. Will take a photo tomorrow if the sun’s out - been overcast today.
