OT: Flat Wonderful™ Peach

Does anyone have this cultivar? If so, how would you rate it's quality? Also, do you have scionwood I may able to buy or trade for?

Thank you

Scott

Scott,

I grow it, but have yet to taste it. It had lots of blooms last spring It's 2nd year but all my peach blooms got hit by a late freeze last Year. I will say it is very ornamental, with burgandy foliage that keeps it's color for a long time. PM me I am sure I can send you some scion.

Phil,

Fantastic, PM sent.

Thank you.

Scott

Scott,
I had bought few Lbs of the White Doughnut Peaches in summer of 2013, I have few baby trees from the seeds but I think I must graft them. I need a scion of same, I think. Otherwise they are just sitting there in a gallon pots.
Sweet and delicate aroma... very juicy.

Aaron,

I have a white doughnut peach as well, "sweet cap", the peaches are fantastic.  The crops in Colorado are a hit and miss do to late frosts, but the good years are amazing and worth the wait. 

If you did not know, all of the reading I've done on peach/nectarine seedlings, they are the only stone fruit seedlings that almost always produce a good quality fruit. For that reason, I'm letting my seedling grow out to see what I have before over grafting them if they are only so so.  

Ask Phil, he said he only has a little Scionwood available for the Flat and wonderful, he might have some left. 

I would be more then happy to send you some Scionwood of my sweet cap if you like, just shoot me an address. 

Scott


 

so, Scott, 
are you saying the seedlings of Flat Peaches don't need to be grafted? Does it fruit without graft? :)

Which Phil are you talking about BTW?

Peaches/nectarines in general typically do not need to have a named cultivar grafted on them be good.  It may or may not be flat... genetics you know,  but you could be sitting on the next big thing.  It usually takes 4 or 5 years to fruit, maybe less in your climate, if the peach is great, let it be.  If not, you have Nice size tree which will be perfect to make a multi-graft tree. 

Sorry,  Strudeldog Phil. 

Scott

I see, you might have a point, I'll just stick it in ground then...it's going to the 3rd year, so...

Oh, I don't thing Strudeldog sends anything to CA.

I would, let it go and see what you get. 

Oh ok, I know most people don't seem to want to.  CA is pretty strict that way and rightly so, the risk of introducing something is rather high. we certainly don't want to introduce a pest and risk the fruit industry there.
