| Red Baron has very showy blossoms? I added Atomic Red nectarine (that is a white flesh) ...hope to get a couple fruit next year. They look great. I ate a few Saturn today... love that peach. Like a piece of candy. |

| Tony, Just as an FYI, your Belle of Georgia isn't one. Belle of Georgia is 2-3 weeks away from ripening, even here in zone 6 KS. Plus the skin of Belle of GA doesn't look like your peach, and the flesh of Georgia Belle has no red in it. You have a mislabeled peach. The good news is it is probably better tasting than a Belle of GA, which is a very mediocre white peach. |

| Man Tony...your stuff is amazing. What on Earth do you spray to get such beautiful peaches? My family had a nice Belle of Georgia at our summer cottage in West Virginia along the south Branch of the Potomac. We had a very nice tree in the front yard until a beaver chewed it off drug it down over the bank to the rivers edge and then just left it. It was almost comical how infuriated my Dad was, but he liked the beavers too. |

| Olpea...I always thought they were mediocre also, but recently had a supermarket one that was fabulous and I don't usually like the white fleshed peaches as well. I always wondered why Belle of Georgia was a top selection. Every year Lowe's, HD and the like have scores of them. I think they're susceptible to bacterial spot as well. |

| Olpea That is good to know that I have a better tasting peach than BOG. I bought this one from Lowes 7 yrs ago. Re: spray for bugs, I used Spectracide Once and Done and follow the recommended schedule. Frank, Red Baron had that pretty blood red double blossoms. Tony
