Searching for Indian peach

9 years ago

Looking for a heirloom peach that once was common here in West Georgia often growing wild around old home places. It is a small red fleshed cling seed peach. Bountiful Gardens carried the seed at one time but lost their source.
Would like to find a seed source for them.

Thanks
Dennis

Hi I have been looking for the same peach for two years. The peach has a number of different names, however, a strain of the peach you are talking about is close to Indian Blood peach and Indian Blood (free) cling and non-cling. You can buy these as trees from quite a few online nurseries. This is still not the peach you nor I want. The peach which you are discussing is for cooking and pickling, not really for fresh eating.

The Indian (Blood) Cling peach sold today is a pickling kind of red fleshed peach. It is hard fleshed. I probably have a few spare seeds of it if thats all you need, click on my profile for my email. Your old peach sounds like it is not exactly Indian Cling as Indian Cling is a large peach. But, there are many variations as it was commonly propagated by seed.
