🗓 Season: July · August · September
🔍 When is it ripe?
Background skin colour shifts from green to yellow; red blush is variety-dependent and not a reliable indicator. Fruit yields to gentle pressure near the stem end. Fragrant aroma at the base. Harvest when it detaches with a slight twist — no tugging needed.
Maybe 12-15 peach trees in a cluster, all along the fence line of the youth farm. Not 100% sure on the variety of the trees, but they seem more like white peaches than yellow. I heard "white dwarf" and "reliance". Trees are labeled with little laminated signs to encourage picking. A few of the trees have some health problems, but there is plenty of great fruit. Trees are on public park land, rumored to be donated by the Obamas through fruit tree foundation -- free for all to enjoy!
