Please help identify this peach tree I have on my backyard. It’s a white peach, clinging stone, ripen now (July 18 stated still have fruits on the tree). The fruit is large to medium size, very firm, soften when picked in about 4 -5 days, juicy and sweet. They have a small pit with a very sharp pointy end reflecting the same feature on the fruit itself.
I bought this tree at local Walmart few years ago and now have the first mature abundant harvest. It was labeled as white peach.
I am in USDA zone 8a.
Thank you!

You could investigate Belle of Georgia see if that it.
Thank you so much for your input….
From what I read about Belles of Georgia peach on StarkBros website, it doesn’t look like it’s my peach tree…
Belle of Georgia is a free stone peach, mine is cling stone no doubt. Its harvest time is in August, mine is now. And finally it’s brown rot and bacterial spot resistant (oh I wish I knew that when bought my peach tree). We lost 2 prior harvests to brown rot - the entire harvest never made it to even close to ripe all was gone. It’s not until we established a regular spray regiment, we got our first harvest. Our peaches have bacterial spot though - we never thought about including a bacterial agent in a spray mix. It was only fungicide to fight bacterial rot and insecticide for borrows and oriental moths.
Thank you!

Try white river, or august rose - both are white fleshed and are said to ripen about now. July rose is a semi cling white fleshed.
Thank you again….
Both of the above varieties are free stone. Mine is cling stone for sure:). Also both of these varieties are bacterial spot resistant- mine are moderately affected by the disease. Gosh, it seems like I really missed on the good disease resistant varieties!
The distinctive feature of the fruits off my tree, I feel, is that well defined hook like end on the fruit that may represent this variety.
Perhaps if I see it on peach ID images I could ID it, but no luck so far.
I am sure it will come at some unexpected time…
Thank you so much again for helping ID it.
I may also try to look again through Walmart inventory next season and see if they will use a specific names this time that I can match my peach tree with.
