MESSINA peach in Zone 5b - 35 miles south of Albany, NY.
Picked here on September 2. It is baseball size. Solid “peachy” taste without being over ovearing. Didn’t measure brix ( will do this weekend).
I did not think of “brixing” because the peach was sooo good.
How do you describe a peach which is heavy to the hand firm to the bite but as soon as the initial firmness gives the juices flow as if it was overripe but it is not. The flavor as I said was very good. I had one warm off the tree and another after being refrigerated its like asking which of my twin girls I love more.
The tree gave me about 30 large peaches and this was only its SECOND year in the ground at my place. It may have been a two year old when I got it bare root.
