Fruit & Orchards

Peach Tree ID please :-)

This tree was on our property. Last year, it was loaded with ripening peaches, but we never got to taste one because we were in process of moving. One week peaches were turning color. The next visit, they were gone. Birds or critters abound here, so.......

This year we pruned and thinned it. We thought we did a good job thinning, but we missed a bunch, so next year we'll do a better job.

Can you ID it from this photo? I have no idea if its a freestone or not.

Thanks!

The tip might give a clue. But degree of tip, ie fruit shape, can vary depending on amount of chilling received. It would just be a guess at this point.

We had about 3 nights of freeze, but not enough to damage the citrus or set back the macadamia. We don't usually have many chill hours here.

I thought it was a long shot for an ID this early. I'll try again with one cut open once they ripen, and I have no idea when that will be.

I agree with Fruitnut, it is early, but my guess is 'Eagle Beak'. Mrs. G

Well, I Googled Eagle Beak, and it's a white peach. This one is orange/peachy when ripe.

I came up with a lot of photos of beaks of eagles, though......
