Picked this morning from one treeš
Itās interesting that there is no bug damage on the peaches of this tree while 50% the peaches picked from another tree back in July have bug damage. I used the same spray and timed the spray based on individual treeāflowering cycle.

Beautiful and biuntiful. Congrats on your success.
Thank you all!
I will eat some fresh and give most of them to family, friends, neighbors, colleaguesā¦ I used to can some but it takes Too much effort.
I once swear up and down that I will sit at the end of my driveway and sell some to recoup part of money that I spent on growing them. My husband said I will just end up giving all to the walk-by cute kids, cute dogs 's owner for free and not bring home a penny. So I give up that idea real quickš

OMGā¦Itās that time for us westerners to be jealous of the easteners! I wish I had fresh peaches still. Those look AMAZING! 
Hopefully I will soon be successful with a later ripening peach!

You also needs to sell tons of peaches to recoup any money you ( and I) has spent on growing and protecting the darn trees.

Olpea, thanks! As for what variety, thatās a really good question. I bought this from a big box store, and lost the tag a long time ago. I just remember it is āredā something. I found one of my old gardenweb posting said itās called āredskinā. Whether we can trust the big box label is another issue. This treeās Fruit ripe a few days earlier than Elberta, and I like the taste and texture much better than Elberta.
I am still smarting from the first peach tree I bought labeled as Georgia bell.
For years I thought What I had is a Georgia bell until you pointed out the obvious (to everyone but me) that Georgia bell is white peach while mine is a yellow peach.

Msg47, I made jam before, just ended up giving out jam. Hubby said I should save myself the trouble and give out fresh one. Itās just too many peachesš
When you move to south of France, maybe you can tell us some fancy French way of making jamā:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I will definitely try it.

Manuang, hahaā¦ We will never make back the sweat and money we put in, the pleasure is all in the process. Or is it? I think we just want to torture ourselves.

Wellā¦ I hate to be again a bearer of āmislabeledā news, but I donāt think your Redskin is actually a Redskin. 
Redskin actually colors very poorly. It has lots of yellow on the skin with a slight red blush. It colors so poorly that sometimes even when itās soft on the tree, it will still have some green around the stem end.
Here is a pretty accurate pic of the peach (imo) from Clemson.

The good news is your peaches are much prettier. And I bet they taste wonderful, whatever they are(Thatās why I was curious and asked the variety.)

Olpea, this time you are the bearer of good mislabel news! I am glad this is not redskin, I looked up the link, redskin is not a pretty peach.
The one I have is really much prettier. The part of fruit exposed to sun turn really dark red. And I like the flavor a lot. Among the 4 peach trees I have( mystery early yellow peach, Elberta, real Georgia bell) , this is my favorite.
Could it be red haven?
